You thought bankrupt Greece or borderline Portugal? Forget it.

War-torn Sudan or Sri Lanka? Relatively happy on this scale.

Mob-ruled Mexico? Positiviely beaming.

The world’s unhappiest country, according the annual IPSOS survey, is Hungary.

It has always been a morose place, but it’s down 4 percent this year and falling. This racist government is getting everyone down.

The happiest land, by the way, is Indonesia. Book your flights now.
