Bhutan is an quasi independent Tibetan country pretending their language is Dzongkha -- but it is something like Bahasa Indonesia vs Bahasa Malaysia.
Bhutan is a little better than shthole, not having access to education or modern medicine. Meanwhile white man cheer such caveman lifestyle. White man say Bhutanese is happy.

Happiness is a mental state.
There's a correlation between the more you want the less happy you are, especially if what you want is not fulfilled.
In most religion, being happy is extremely important, the mental state of being happy or not will decide your next life or after life.
The statement of being poor, having a simple life, easy to be satisfied... that preached by many religions worldwide are all about the mental state of being happy.
So, by keeping the whole country simple (or primitive/backward), and the basic needs are being fulfilled, without having other desires, the people will be happy.
Things will be different if someone is introducing our modern life to them, I believe the people of Bhutan will no longer be happy because their desire increase significantly up to the level they will be suffering by their own mental of greed. Suffering will lead to sadness and anger. Then it leads to hatred. And finally, what we know about Bhutan people, in the end, they will become criminal, terrorist, the evilest person on planet earth. Although deep down in their heart they know, they are actually just good people who desire to be happy, deserve heaven.
I can't wait to introduce social media to Bhutanese. Lol
