A CNN report says that Costa Rica is the happiest place in the world. An independent research group in Britain says Costa Rica is “centered on people and the environment.”

This group ranks nations using the “Happy Planet Index,” which seeks countries with the most content people.
In addition to happiness, the index by the New Economics Foundation considers the ecological footprint and life expectancy of countries.
“Costa Ricans report the highest life satisfaction in the world and have the second-highest average life expectancy of the new world (second to Canada),” the organization said in a statement.

They “also have an ecological footprint that means that the country only narrowly fails to achieve the goal of … consuming its fair share of the Earth’s natural resources.
