It’s interesting to see a country’s internal rank of its own happiness against how I would rank them using my worldview.

Israel for example seems like a place that would be fairly unhappy right now given world events, but they rank quite highly.

Saudi Arabia also sticks out as unexpected. It seems in the media I hear about their government being quite oppressive (especially against women), so seeing them just above the US is surprising.

In Israel they use happiness as a rebellion. You try to kill them, you say what you want, but they don’t care, they stay happy. It fuels their enemy’s rage.

Endless captcha loops for me whenever I click on a chapter.

Not using any VPN or proxy, no CF DNS, nothing like that.

You would think that Finland's unemployment rate (10%+) would influence its ranking, but that's not the case at all.
