What IS the Happiest Place on Earth?

This story from the Today Show this morning spiked my interest.

The University of Michigan Institute for Social Research study cited Denmark, Puerto Rico, and Colombia as the happiest nations in the world with Zimbabwe as the least happy.

I was curious and did some quick investigation. This story from BBC News names Nigeria, Mexico, and Venezuela as the happiest places and Russia as the most morose. Meanwhile, this story from HappyNews.com cites London-based market research company GfK NOP as giving the top spots in the happiness sweepstakes to Australia, the US, and Egypt with the most disconsolate people in Hungary.

So, who really are the happiest people in the world? And anyway, isn't Disneyland "the happiest place on Earth"?
