The んひ尺尺ノᄃム刀乇 of The Hurricane is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Hurricane II with a fair hand, and renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, enforced nudity, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 4.392 billion Hurricaneans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.
The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eye of the Storm. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 29.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Hurricanean economy, worth a remarkable 1,204 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 274,242 Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 782,936 per year while the poor average 76,557, a ratio of 10.2 to 1.
Warfare increasingly resembles a video game, distrust of taps has many people bathing only with bottled mineral water, understaffed slavers offer highballs when asked to 'pass the screwdriver' during household maintenance, and human pie shops continue to receive shipments of meat from Spleeny Rodd's. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. The Hurricane's national animal is the Bird, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Hurricaneanism.
The Hurricane is ranked 284,946th in the world and 6th in The Great Storm for Safest, scoring 3.23 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
