The Cry-Laughing Emoji of Laughlinea is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Harley Quinn with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, prohibition of alcohol, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 12.728 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, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of City of Giggles. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.5%.

The thriving Laughlinean economy, worth a remarkable 1,047 trillion laughs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 82,282 laughs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 254,454 per year while the poor average 20,513, a ratio of 12.4 to 1.

Social media sites prompt users to send birthday greetings to unresponsive nonagenarians, the nation's air force consists of strongly-worded letters folded into paper airplanes, rugby players that knock each other over always stop to make sure the other fellow is okay, and on-duty Air Laughlinea flight attendants are usually seen napping in first class. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, 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 55,790^th in the world and 4^th in Freshness for Most Corrupt Governments, with 33.25 kickbacks per hour.
