The Eye of Hurricane 2 is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.58 billion Hurricane 2ians 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, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Welfare, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while International Aid receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 27.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Hurricane 2ian economy, worth 140 trillion Rains a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Pizza Delivery, and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 39,171 Rains, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign policy often involves bullwhips and leather, minority children spend hours bussing to schools miles away from home, people regularly disappear off the streets and all evidence of them is destroyed, and open-heart surgery is taught in seminaries. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hurricane 2's national animal is the Dog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Hurricane 2 is ranked 289,853^rd in the world and 1^st in The Commonwealth of Militant Nations for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -7.75 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
