That wasn't my point, many factors play into the hypothetical 'happiness' of a country.

No I understand that wasnt what you were saying and I totally agree. Im not even sure how they rate the happiness of a country. Also the population density of many countries seems artificially low because only a tiny part of a huge land mass is actually lived in.

Whether that's because there's too many of humanity, humanity is growing too fast or there are too many variations of humanity (and beliefs) is another matter.

Yes, which is of course just saying the population is the greatest threat to the population.

Ironically it's the variations (and beliefs) that have helped to somewhat contain the population to date.

Would be interesting to see further drill downs in terms of migration streams (skilled, family reunion, investor, etc) and well as percentages by age groups, etc. I bet the data can reveal some fascinating trends and insights.

With the survey in question it tends to out line, smaller populated countries with good social systems in place.

Really? I don't see any countries with rapidly growing populations happy with their lot nor becoming better off.
