This dataset contains responses from 100 people in each country to the question:
"How happy are you with your life right now?"

## Important Biases and Limitations

This dataset is intended as a fun exercise and has several important biases to
acknowledge:

- **Selection bias**: All respondents answered on a mobile phone, which means
the sample skews toward people with higher income and socioeconomic status,
especially in poorer regions.
- **Coverage gaps**: Some countries were unreachable for various reasons and are
excluded from both the dataset and the visualization below.

These biases may explain some unexpected results. For example, Sudan ranks as
the highest-rated country despite its current difficulties, likely due to the
demographic skew toward more affluent mobile phone users.
