it's not about being better, it's about how happy the people are, that being said I've checked this meme index and I've figured out that it's basically decided by dystopia. Which is weird because dystopia is the antonym of utopia. We're 63rd while Venezuela is 44th.

It includes several subjective metrics too (look at their "positive and negative affect" and how they are defined for example). This makes perfect sense since "happiness" is quite subjective too.
Nothing wrong with that, those weren't meant to be used for online cock size contests anyway.
