                It's actually extremely difficult to get citizenship there.

                            The UN got its numbers from the Soviet Government, which was the only place that any numbers came from (since independant agencies weren't allowed to enter).

                            And btw, yes .

                            Britain is 13th? I am surprised...this place is a horrible place to live...


                            Well... compared with the rest of the world, not so much .

Hell, if you're depressed, Norway will pay for you to take a vacation someomeplace warm, and you don't have to come back 'till you're feeling better. God I wanna be a Norwegian citizen.
                              Couldn't you just say you were depressed and live your entire life on some Caribbean beach then without to do anything?

                                But Canada, which had been in first place in the overall index of 175 countries for seven years until 2001, conducted its own poll, apparently timed to the U.N. report.

                                Canadian media reported that 89 percent of the country had an "absolute conviction that we have a better quality of life than the United States."
