Luxembourg
Luxembourg, a comparatively tiny European country, checks in at No. 21 and reveals how well a nation with a couple of top marks can surmount a single weak rating. With a small population just south of 600,000, the $69.5 billion GDP of this nation is hardly a fall in the international bucket. Its pretty high $65,449 average wage, which ranks No. 7 in the globe, is pulling it from the closet in terms of overall riches. Its No. 8 standings in SPI, which also owes to a sky-high rating in water supply and sanitation, adequate healthcare, and individual rights, solidifies its spot near the middle of the scale.

Finland
Finland is indeed the happiest country in the world, as per the World Happiness Report, and therefore it is upsetting seeing that it isn’t significantly greater than No. 20. As its standings in the WHR would imply, due to its near-perfect evaluations on water supply and sanitation and adequate healthcare, Finland recently ranked well enough in the SPI at No. 5. It is low at just 55.14 in advanced education, but no evaluations slipped below 82.28 out of 100 points. Where Finland falters is its average revenue of No. 43-ranked $275.7 billion GDP and No. 20-ranked $44,111. Money might not lead to happiness.
