Nordic countries have all of those things. It’s so easy so be outside on the beach and socialize when you have summer round the year. Try being social when it’s minus 30, pitch black and a snow storm outside.

That’s why Nordic countries excel in music and gaming instead, the cold forces people to be inside and have creative hobbies instead. A lot of the time depression/suicide is higher in well of societies, because when your basic needs are all met you have more time to question your happiness. People who are too busy trying to put food on the table aren’t mulling over small problems. Of course couple that with periods of complete darkness and no vitamin D. That creates different cultures..

“I don’t get why people are enclosed in their home” is the most idiotic, American “I’ve never been to any country outside my own” perspective I’ve ever heard
