Denmark

To begin with, "social trust," which evaluates people's faith in one another, their government, and public institutions like police and hospitals, is quite high in Denmark. Furthermore, all citizens have access to free health care and education (including college). Denmark is a green-forward country that is a global leader in areas such as shipping, design, and architecture. Even in Copenhagen, the capital city, bicycles outnumber vehicles, and the country is continually discovering new ways to live cleaner and greener.

Finally, the Danes introduced the world to "hygge" (pronounced "hooga"), a pleasant, very human phrase for time spent away from the hustle and bustle, simply resting and appreciating life's minor pleasures, frequently with family and/or friends.
