Gallup’s annual Global Emotions report ranks countries based on the positive and negative emotions their citizens experience.

According to the latest report, the top five countries with the most angry residents are, in order, Lebanon, Turkey, Armenia, Iraq and Afghanistan.

Turkey is in second place, behind only Lebanon, which is suffering from a string of crises – a plummeting currency, refugees, terrorist activity, conflicts and a power vacuum, along with acute shortages of fuel, food, electricity and medicine.

Participants were asked to respond, among other things, to the question “Were you angry yesterday?”

In Turkey, the economic crisis and inflation are testing citizens. The market seems to trust her turkish pound, less than even the ruble and certainly less than any other emerging market currency. As elections approach, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is also trying to prevent the lira from falling further.

At the opposite end of the states with the most angry citizens are countries where a single-digit percentage says they were angry the day before. These include Finland, Mauritius, Estonia, Portugal and the Netherlands.

Countries with the most stress

Turkey is also in the top five with the most stressed citizens, ranking third after Afghanistan and Lebanon, with Ecuador and Jordan following them. In contrast, citizens of Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Indonesia and Mongolia report 12-14%, making it the top five countries with the least stress.
