    Find out who ranks as most and least happy country in the world

    17 march 2016
    Denmark is the world's happiest country while Burundi is the least happy, according to a new survey.
    Switzerland, Iceland, Norway and Finland, which like Denmark have strong social security systems, made up the rest of the top five.
    Denmark topped the list in the first report, in 2012, and again in 2013, but it was displaced by Switzerland last year. In this year's ranking, Denmark was back at No. 1.
    At the bottom of the list of more than 150 countries was Burundi, where a violent political crisis broke out last year. Burundi was preceded by Syria, Togo, Afghanistan, Benin, Rwanda, Guinea, Liberia, Tanzania and Madagascar. All of those nations are poor, and many have been destabilized by war, disease or both.
