The Green of Bank of The Hurricane is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Santa Claus with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.552 billion birds are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Education, and Healthcare also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yggdrassil. The average income tax rate is 69.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Bank of The Hurricanean economy, worth 180 trillion Candy Cane Gold Bars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 50,737 Candy Cane Gold Bars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Santa Claus has been known to make speeches in fishing waders, former stunt pilots are unable to pass the licence test to fly a drone, strange looking men with big red noses are found hiding behind bushes and inside dustbins, and the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bank of The Hurricane's national animal is the Bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Athyism.

Bank of The Hurricane is ranked 299,556^th in the world and 18^th in Hurricane for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 43.9 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
