WW3 Happiness Index

⚠️ Methodology (Sort Of)

We've built a half-serious, half-sardonic "WW3 Happiness Index" by combining each country's estimated nuclear war survival probability (remoteness, target profile, food and energy resilience) with its 2024 life satisfaction score. Survival is first adjusted with simple policy switches: penalties if you're an active combatant, a nuclear triad state, or a primary target hub; small bonuses if you're a remote island or run mostly on renewables. Then we blend survival and happiness on the same 0–100 scale using a weighted mean (60% Survival, 40% Happiness), with a default geometric mean that gently punishes lopsided countries. You can switch to a harsher harmonic mean or a simple linear mean if you want to see how your favourite moves when the maths gets less forgiving. Higher scores mean places that are both more likely to survive and more bearable to live in when the sirens sound.
