The ☮️Borderlands🏴 of Laughing Hyena is a massive, genial nation, ruled by 🌹The Blind🌊 with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, national health service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.337 billion Hyenans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of 🏞Hyena Den🌄. The average income tax rate is 92.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hyenan economy, worth 436 trillion 💫⏳️Moment 🌙🕰s a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 130,790 💫⏳️Moment 🌙🕰s, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The internal market is thriving, five-year-olds who refuse to line up on command get gold stars, patriotic citizens simply tend to applaud rather than sing the nation's praises, and holidaymakers sleep curled up on the floor as hotel beds are replaced with oversized bookcases. Crime is totally unknown. Laughing Hyena's national animal is the 👣Crocuta Crocuta🎭, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is ☄️Hyenaism🌈.

Laughing Hyena is ranked 107,158th in the world and 25th in Philosophers for Most Extreme, scoring 22.87 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
