This, um, sounds pretty suspicious to say the least. I can possibly see life expectancy in NK being better than life in Somalia, because at least in NK you've only got one dictator to worry about. But as a rationalist, I must indicate confusion and suspicion of the data.
This might be hard to reliably estimate but the WHO gives North Korean life expectancy as 66 years. That doesn't confuse me or make me particularly suspicious.
I wouldn't be surprised if life expectancy on North Sentinel Island is significantly lower but it's possible that average happiness over there is higher. Which society would you prefer your child to be born into, if you had a choice between those two?
