Your list matches closely with the 2025 Happy City Index, compiled by the Institute for Quality of Life. This index ranks 200 global cities based on 82 indicators across six categories: governance, environment, economy, mobility, citizens (education and culture), and health. The top cities in this index are designated as "gold cities."

@AviatorTom surely they both have issues, Denmark has issues with Greenland wanting independence and causing colonization lol negatively and Switzerland supposedly has a high domestic violence rate / potential fun time rate even potentially related to DV. Shrug 😔

Given there's no UK or American city on the list and the number of Scandinavian ones that are is it something to do with being happy and content with where you live?

Or is it suicide rates?

I think it's a painting about economy and happiness

[purplepoppy]

That's what I think too, Denmark always scores well on those surveys

[red-lipstick-girl]

Are these the capitals of the countries? Is this the correct answer?
