The Cry-Laughing Emoji of Laughlinea is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Harley Quinn with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 17.798 billion Laughlineans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while International Aid and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of City of Giggles. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.6%.

The powerhouse Laughlinean economy, worth a remarkable 1,510 trillion laughs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is 84,860 laughs, with the richest citizens earning 8.9 times as much as the poorest.

Taxpayer-funded government ads are promoting Brancaland as a premier filming location, nose plugs are the latest Laughlinean fashion accessory, students spend the school year learning how great the education system is, and the green glow is a sign of clean energy. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Laughlinea's national animal is the hyena, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Violetism.

Laughlinea is ranked 128,238^th in the world and 6^th in Freshness for Highest Poor Incomes, with 25,706.81 Standard Monetary Units.
