Dark Laughter is a 1925 novel by the American author Sherwood Anderson.
 It dealt with the new sexual freedom of the 1920s, a theme also explored in his 1923 novel "Many Marriages" and later works.
 The influence of James Joyce's "Ulysses," which Anderson had read before writing the 1925 novel, is expressed in "Dark Laughter".
National without household registration (abbreviated NWOHR) is the legal status held by nationals of the Republic of China (ROC) who lack household registration in the Taiwan Area.
 ROC nationality law considers many overseas Chinese as well as most residents of mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau to be ROC nationals.
 Such persons may be entitled to ROC consular protection and ROC passports.
 However, nationality is a necessary but insufficient condition for most civic duties and privileges in Taiwan.
 NWOHRs are subject to immigration control under the Immigration Act (though on different terms than foreigners), and can only receive national health insurance if they have resided in Taiwan for at least one year in a two-year period.
 Although they may not vote, they are exempt from military conscription.
The House Without Laughter (German:Das Haus ohne Lachen) is a 1923 German silent drama film directed by Gerhard Lamprecht.
Not Without Laughter is the debut novel by Langston Hughes published in 1930.
Visa requirements for Republic of China (Taiwan) passport holders are administrative entry restrictions by the authorities of other states placed on nationals of Republic of China (ROC), commonly known as Taiwan.
 Although the ROC has only one type of nationality under its nationality law, its nationals' right of abode in Taiwan is based on whether they have established household registration in Taiwan, hence ROC nationals are divided into two categories: nationals with household registration ("NWHRs"), with right of abode in Taiwan; and nationals without household registration ("NWOHRs"), without right of abode in Taiwan.
 Only NWHRs are entitled to a National Identification Card, and the National ID number is imprinted on the passport's biodata page to signify the holder's status as an NWHR.
 Holders of such passports can travel to more countries and territories without visas than holders of passports without National ID number, as NWOHRs using ROC passports to enter Taiwan require an entry permit and are subject to immigration controls.
Timm Thaler oder Das verkaufte Lachen (roughly translated as Timm Thaler, or the Traded Laughter and best known as simply Timm Thaler) is a 1962 children's novel by German author James Krüss.
 Regarded by the "Oxford Encyclopedia of Children's Literature" as Krüss' best known children's book, "Timm Thaler" tells the story of a boy who trades his enchanting laughter to a wealthy mysterious Mephistopheles-like Baron in exchange for the ability to win any bet he makes.
 Regretting the exchange, he undertakes a four-year journey to win his laughter back.
 In 1979, Krüss wrote a sequel novel, Timm Thalers Puppen oder Die verkaufte Menschenliebe (roughly translated as Timm Thaler's Puppets, or the Traded Love for Mankind).

South African nationality has been influenced primarily by the racial dynamics that have structured South African society throughout its development.
 The country's colonial history led to the immigration (or importation) of different racial and ethnic groups into one shared area.
 Power dispersion and inter-group relations led to European dominance of the state, allowing it to directly shape nationality although not without internal division or influence from the less empowered races.
