The ☮️Borderlands🏴 of Laughing Hyena is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by 🌹The Blind🌊 with a fair hand, and notable for its national health service, irreverence towards religion, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.102 billion Hyenans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of 🏞Hyena Den🌄. The average income tax rate is 89.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hyenan economy, worth 234 trillion 💫⏳️Moment 🌙🕰s a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 111,539 💫⏳️Moment 🌙🕰s, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Married couples must call each other "darling" or risk a fine, young children are learning advanced physics to scientifically disprove the existence of Santa Claus, 🌹The Blind🌊 lives life on the open road - complete with groupies, and motorists must pay to enter inner-cities during peak hours. Crime, especially youth-related, 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 287,306th in the world and 170th in Philosophers for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -17.44 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
