Feeling bummed? You’re not alone, as the U.S. drops to a record low in happiness index Nordic countries continue to dominate the rankings, while Afghanistan is once again the world’s unhappiest nation.

Despite sharing a border with an at-war Russia and receiving limited winter sunlight, Finland has been ranked the world’s happiest country for the eighth year in a row.

Americans, meanwhile, seem to get more unhappy with each passing year.
