Often dubbed the ‘world’s happiest country’, Denmark was in fact most recently named in first place on the world happiness list in 2016, and was also top of the ranking in 2013. The Scandinavian country was third-happiest in the world last year and in 2015, but is now back up to second spot, a position it last held in 2017.

The reasons why Denmark ranks as the least corruption country in the world are, among others, its public sector, which exhibits a high level of integrity. Furthermore, Denmark is often highlighted as a good place to do business because of the safe business environment with no bribery.

QUESTION: Why is Denmark so perfect? ANSWER: Democracy and the Social Welfare System. The Danish social welfare system is like no other, and this results in the vast majority of people having what they need. Let me break this down into a day-to-day example: You walk into a restaurant and hang your jacket at the front door.
