Iceland witnessed the 2007 financial meltdown that plunged it into crisis. Since then, the Icelanders know how to pull together in testing times and there is little that fazes them. The country is home to one of the best places to see the natural magic of the Aurora Borealis, the Northern lights.

Norway has been sliding down this ranking since 2017 (when it claimed the top spot). The Norwegians have little to no complaints about their life evaluation. The country has one of the best social security systems in the world and a thriving economy, based on its natural resources.
