Yes, you're thinking of Bhutan. But "gross national happiness" is just a propaganda exercise.

As a Buddhist nation I doubt that is the case. Its seems fairly central to Buddhist philosophy from my understanding of it.

Out of interest having been chasing growth for decades I assume we are at the highest GDP measure ever, but do you assume that we are happier than ever? The opioid crisis in the US would suggest otherwise.
