We considered happiness, longevity and ecological footprint, data which is gathered and indexed at The Happy Planet 2.0.
Then we threw in GDP per capita (weighted 1:2 against the aforementioned index), because however you spin it having money makes a difference in your life.
The best countries to live include several no brainers. Others might surprise you, like a certain Middle Eastern desert. But remember, the heat doesn't matter when everyone can afford air conditioning
