The Spiritan Visitor of Improvised Laughter is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its burgeoning Improv Artist population. The hard-working, democratic population of 25.542 billion Improvised Laughterians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Public Transport, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 37.9%.

The strong Improvised Laughterian economy, worth 967 trillion Sorrowfas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Pizza Delivery, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 37,844 Sorrowfas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Small businesses are gobbled up almost daily by corporate giants and a major religion has been named as Improvised Laughter's national religion. Crime is moderate. Improvised Laughter's national animal is the Improv Artist, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is a major religion.

Improvised Laughter is ranked 223,882^nd in the world and 5^th in Avant Folk for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -3.46 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
