The country that didn't even make the top 20 of the Happiest Countries in the World 2026 list?

Happiest country.. there is an objective measure
Happiest, Fruitful .. on par for objectivity really.

Glad you noticed.

And you won’t believe it but the US didn’t make J D Power Best Places To Work either. In fact, I’m told that the Barclays Certified Happy Places To Live Brought To You By Standard Chartered doesn’t list a single American city.
To the country's credit, it is rocketing up the 2026 banana republic charts.
JD Power ranking American fashion brands now? Not bad.
