Highest birth rate in Europe + highest divorce rate + highest percentage of women working outside the home = the best country in the world in which to live.

Well, it's very cold there, so we can negate the conclusion of the title outright. Nonetheless, I take their point. - j1m

@j1m It is actually not very cold there, due to the Gulf Stream. In winter, Reykjavík is warmer than NYC. - ana

@j1m you just don't know what is _real_ cold weather... *giggles* - silpol

I like it there - but does the tap water always smell of sulphur? - Thomas Brox Røst

Great country, blue lagoon is worth the trip alone. .. But now they even have among the highest interest rates (15ish percent) in the western world - http://www.sedlabanki.is/?Page... - Amund Tveit

"'That is not something to be proud of,' said Oddny, with a brisk smile, 'but the fact is that Icelanders don't stay in lousy relationships. They just leave.' And the reason they can do so is that society, starting with the parents and grandparents, does not stigmatise them for making that choice." - edythe

@ana, that's a pretty low bar - j1m

Take that, government-hating republicans! :D - Adam Lasnik

Well the punchline was about Icelanders being *Africans* at heart. Interestingly the World Values Survey doesn't seem to get to much of Africa, but in 2003, Nigeria was at the top of the list of happiest countries, though lower in the list on the "subjective well-being" question. See http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/afr..., http://thehappinessshow.com/Ha..., etc. I don't suppose we'll see an ad campaign for Nigeria saying that it's "like Iceland - but WARMER!" - Karim

maybe the equation must be read backwards? e.g. highest birth rate is not the cause of being happy, but a consequence. - 9000
