Earlier this week five million Norwegians woke up to happy news. Norway now tops The World Happiness Report after having leapfrogged several countries and outhappied even Denmark, the gold standard of happiness. And then The Guardian, one of the world's best newspapers, got in touch and asked me to write about it.

Greenland - Country Number 199?

Colourful Nuuk, colourful Greenland. 

I recently visited Greenland, the world's largest island, and had a smashing great time! It is quite hard not to. But it is not an independent country, at least not yet. That is set to change in 2-3 years, according to people I spoke with. If they are right, it will make Greenland country number 199, and set up the race rather nicely for number 200.

Media: The FM Bets Are On

Which country will be the first to switch off FM? Norway has long been in the lead. Apparantly. It's been a little over two years since the government in the land of the midnight sun decided to switch off FM in January 2017. Given some preconditions. Denmark later followed with 2019 as a tentative FM switch-off date, whereas Sweden as the third Nordic country said 2022 only last month.
