The Sanguine Empire of The Sounds of Laughter is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Cain Rahl Sabathiel with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, daily referendums, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 20.439 billion wolves enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Archangel. The average income tax rate is 24.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong ascendant economy, worth a remarkable 1,044 trillion Blood Rubies a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 51,108 Blood Rubies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Tabloids coo over Cain Rahl Sabathiel's expected child, the "fire department" is often called to remove offensive religious texts, farmers' market days almost always end in a shooting, and business meetings across the country are interrupted by the sound of squeaking whoopee-cushions. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. The Sounds of Laughter's national animal is the Siberian Husky, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is the Cosmarchy.

The Sounds of Laughter is ranked 109,728th in the world and 6th in Unknown for Most Income Equality, scoring 37.05 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
