I seem to recall that in Bhutan it's all but illegal to be unhappy. Also alcohol and tobacco are banned. It's a Buddhist kingdom.

@Entwistle I was reading a bit about Bhutan. Thats where the question came from.

@Ozymandiaz Cool. I've seen a documentary about Bhutan. As a tourist you need £200 spending money per day to be allowed in. It seems pretty exclusive when it comes to allowing tourists in.
