The visualization is good, IMHO there's a lot of room for improvement though. There's a big issue which undermines the credibility of the whole report:

- Venezuela has a Cantril Ladder value of 6.2577.

That's very strange to say the least, and it's hard to believe to be honest. Venezuelans are one of the most unhappy, miserable people in the world.

I took a quick look at the full report (linked in the comments), and I think the data shown in the visualization might not be 100% accurate.

I think they're using data from 2008.

to be clear, is that first-hand experience from venezuela or some other survey?

They lack the basic necessities on Maslow's hierarchy of needs right now, with the state of their ruined economy.

yes but happiness perception is subjective and depends on what information they get
