I remember about a decade ago I was living in Singapore and there was a minor controversy coz the country appeared near the bottom of some "happiness" country ranking. A lot of people felt vindicated by this.

The government got really mad and decided, in true Singaporean fashion that the only logical solution was to create their own metric and ranking. One where, coincidentally they were #1/#2 happiest instead of #1/2 unhappiest. A completely different set of people felt equally vindicated by this.
