You'd hardly think so looking at the expressions on the likes of TarJak and Reece

Australia has been ranked the world's happiest nation among developed economies for the third year running.
Top position went to Australia, because of the overall strength of its economy, in the Better Life Index compiled by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.

Get well soon balloons for roadkill, no kangaroos in those pics!

J/K, congrats, but like any city builder you play, the game gets harder when you reach higher populations.

Now to play devils advocate, compare your economy to other nations (first world)? Your oppressive VAT taxes on nearly everything, I know you all love paying a third more in government taxes for foreign goods.

My game cost me 40, it costs you 60. Happy? or happily oppressed?

Or are Kangaroos that cool, and I am missing the point?

IMPORT NOW!

Way to go Australia.

Bananas and lemon/ lime soda all around.

As long as you don't elect that mining heiress to a top political position, you should remain happy.

It's also nice that you're on a sea locked little continent all by your lonesomes.

Most other countries share borders with other countries.
With the USA bordering Canada and Mexico, we get sneaky uninvited guests from the south and those fine folks to our north have their southern border fairly secured. We could take a lesson or two from them.

Well it all depends on your source...I personally don't trust the BBC.

I find it funny when my Euro/OZ Steam friends ask me to gift them games so they can pay substatially less.

I guess that full socialist money has to come from somewhere.

Happy? at what cost? Ever think about that?

Any place with shrimp on the barbie has to be happy.
