The んひ尺尺ﾉᄃﾑ刀乇 of The Hurricane is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Hurricane II with an even hand, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, pith helmet sales, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 4.419 billion Hurricaneans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

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 34.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Hurricanean economy, worth a remarkable 1,259 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 285,010 Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 804,524 per year while the poor average 80,823, a ratio of 10.0 to 1.

The ongoing space elevator construction project has elevated the national debt to all new levels, game show contestants scramble to fish trash out of the South Bird Sea, dog owners proudly declare that their pups can predict when the mailman will arrive, and the nation is currently revamping its entire education system. 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 5,309^th in the world and 1^st in The Great Storm for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 550.67 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
