The Eyewall of A Hurricane is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.227 billion Hurricaneans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eye of the Storm. The average income tax rate is 69.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Hurricanean economy, worth 533 trillion waters a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Gambling. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 239,426 waters, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

The drive to dismantle public transport has crashed and burned, the air force's greatness is based on how many enemies are made during procurement, pinkie promises are a matter of life and death, and one little fight can find you movin' to be the fresh prince of Ilba. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. A Hurricane's national animal is the cloud, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

A Hurricane is ranked 20,426^th in the world and 4^th in The Great Storm for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 306.22 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
