It is a small country with endless winters and yet, for the fourth consecutive year, Finland has just been crowned the happiest country in the world according to the UN. A record! A priori, the recipe is rather simple: a good dose of confidence in the future and a pinch of wild nature with kilometers of forest. But the list of advantages of the Finnish way of life is actually very long: an education system among the best in the world, excellent social security, no insecurity or corruption and a country at the forefront in terms of Men and women equality. So is Finland really the happiest country in the world?

Finland, a country of less than 6 million inhabitants, shares an immense border with Russia, 1,300 kilometers long. It is an obligatory point of passage for many truckers and the authorities record a lot of traffic there.

So what does Finnish happiness look like?
