The Free Land of Laughterandsunshine is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and hatred of cheese. The quiet, industrious population of 39.931 billion Laughterandsunshineans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Environment, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 78.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Laughterandsunshinean economy, worth a remarkable 2,695 trillion Doughs a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 67,497 Doughs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Up to 40% of voters can finally read the issues they're deciding on, shopkeepers use microscopes to verify the authenticity of banknotes, war vets look after war animals, and the government has pinkie-promised never to use its veto power except in an emergency. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Laughterandsunshine's national animal is the German Shepherd, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Laughterandsunshine is ranked 18,506th in the world and 28th in Canada for Lowest Crime Rates, with 90.59 law-abiding acts per hour.
