How to read them
30
answers before a country appears
30–99 is tagged thin. Weeks under 30 keep their count but show no estimate. Nothing on these boards names a person.
Answers come from the Mic Check daily omnibus, a general-population online panel in 80+ countries. The global boards are unweighted: a country's number describes the panelists who answered there. The city boards are the weighted ones. Means carry 95% confidence intervals; shares are plain shares of every answer. Free-text answers are tagged with the Gross National Happiness domains they name. Boards rebuild twice a day.
