The UK-based Independent daily on Friday, August 28th published a survey by Gallup assessing the world’s happiest and depressed nations of the world.
For the first time in Gallup’s 10 year history this survey has assessed the world’s happiness nations.
Citizens in Paraguay, Columbia and Ecuador are most likely to experience positive emotions on a daily basis, while residents of Sudan, Tunisia and Bangladesh showed the lowest scores for positive emotions in 2014.
The annual poll, conducted with 153,000 people across 148 countries, found that happiness across the world remained remarkably stable in 2014.
Participants were asked five questions, including whether they felt well rested, if they were treated with respect and if they had laughed or smiled yesterday. The answers were compiled into a 'Positive Experience Index” for each nation. The highest score (89) in Paraguay strongly contrasts to Sudan (47) presently in the midst of sectarian conflict.
World’s happiest countries are all in South America for first time, international poll finds Gallup questioned 153,000 people in 148 countries over the course of a year.

“That so many people report experiencing positive emotions in Latin America at least partly reflects the cultural tendency in the region to focus on the positives in life,” the Gallup report suggests.
Conversely, Iraq, Iran and Cambodia had the highest negative experiences scores. Iraq has been top for three years (2011, 2013 and 2014) and remained in the top five consecutively since 2008.
