Pakistan ranked 16th amongst 151 countries of the world on the Happy Planet Index (HPI) 2012, beating India and the United States who ranked 32nd and 105th, respectively. Costa Rica was termed the happiest country, followed by Vietnam and Colombia. The HPI was calculated using life expectancy, experienced well-being and ecological footprint (per capita) of the countries with data collected from various sources including UNDP and Gallup. The index was compiled by New Economics Foundation (NEF).
The life expectancy and experienced well-being of Pakistan was found to be mediocre, but the ecological footprint was termed “good”. The total HPI of Pakistan was calculated to be 54.1. Israel landed just one spot above Pakistan, having “good” life expectancy and experienced well-being, but a “poor” ecological footprint. Bangladesh was higher up on the scale at 11, with the first two factors rated as “mediocre” and the footprint as “good”. India was found to have mediocre life expectancy and well-being and a “good” ecological footprint. However, its total HPI amounted to 50.9. Afghanistan was ranked 109. The only reason why the US scored low was its ecological footprint which was worse than the “poor” category. The life expectancy and experienced well-being were, however, ranked “good”.
Rubbish… It might be 16th from the bottom
.
No it's from the top …

Notice, it's a 'happy planet' index. Planet earth is happier when you bothered the planet least. So, if you die early or eat, drink or poop very little, then mother planet would be happier and you would be up on the index …

Now …
Salute the genius of the phaking index …

or the 'Happy Planet Scale' might be something like The Onion, a spoof magazine

I don't know what is this ecological footprint but as other parameters are concerned if it is so then it is totally false based index of judging happy index.Life expectancy has been reduced due to food inflation, low income of lower class, poor health facilities for elders etc and how they evaluate this experience well beings in our poorly deprived system.Through such observation one can judge that what kind of research is made in developed countries to show the wrong pictures of underdeveloped countries oh yes if the heading is like that
Pakistani leaders amongst top 20 happiest leaders of the world for successfully fooling the nation"

I have really never believed in these surveys but this one is the most laughable one. hehehehe
That is because Pakistanis know how to relieve stress and depression by making more and more babies sky is the limit.
I believe this, life in the US is very dull, and boring for the most part.
