The happiest and most unfortunate countries

Having leaded the large-scale research, now the experts can name the European countries which inhabitants consider them happy and completely satisfied. According to statistics, 87 % of inhabitants of the European Union states consider them happy. However this parameter basically concerns to old EU members. A half of Bulgarians, on the contrary, feel unfortunate, and sociologists have registered the highest number of suicides in Baltic countries.
According to the poll, lead in the EU countries under the Eurocommission’s order, the happiest people are the Danes - 97 % inhabitants of the Denmark feel good and comfortable. At the population of the countries which became EU members 3 years ago, have other moods. So, 55 % of Bulgarian citizens have named them unfortunate.
Lithuanians, Greeks and Romanians, and rarely - Dutchs and Finns suffer from stress.
By the way, according to the Eurostat statistical bureau data also confirm the fact of decadent moods among the population of the new EU members. According to Eurostat information, the highest level of suicides is observed in Baltic countries.
The highest level of suicides among Europeans is noted in Lithuania - 71 cases per 100 thousand people. Latvia on this parameter is on the second place - 45 suicides, and Estonia (44 suicides) is on the third place. Among women most of all suicides are made by the inhabitants of Lithuania (14 per 100 thousand women), Slovenia (13) and Hungary (10).
The happiest women live on Chyprus, in Greece, Italy and Spain. Probably, it can be explained by the role of a soft Mediterranean climate and the bright southern nature.
Besides, Eurostat has named the most prospering areas of the European Union. The list of the richest regions is headed by the “internal London” (without taking into account vicinities). The second place is occupied by the Great duchy Luxembourg, Bruxelles is on the third. Here sociologists have fixed the highest level of a total regional product per capita.
