The Community of Hurricane-I is a huge, pleasant nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 253 million Hurricane-Iians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 22.6%.

The Hurricane-Iian economy, worth 11.2 trillion Hurricanes a year, is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Soda Sales. Average income is 44,119 Hurricanes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

A widely accepted trade policy is "tit-for-tat", there's a lot of mouth-breathers about these days, an epidemic of unpopped kernels causes movie goers to gnash their teeth, and people are careful to avoid hyperbolising that they'd "rather die" than support Leader. Crime is moderate. Hurricane-I's national animal is the Hurricane, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Hurricane-I is ranked 180,751^st in the world and 10^th in The International Leftist Organization for Safest, scoring 56.24 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
