The Eye of Hurricane 5 is a mammoth, safe nation, renowned for its frequent executions and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 6.998 billion Hurricaneans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 28.4%.

The Hurricanean economy, worth 272 trillion currencies a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Pizza Delivery, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 38,945 currencies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

The police think a properly conducted criminal investigation is a real pain, getting an autograph has become harder than ever, male tourists tend to be fearful of Hurricane 5's deadly femme fatales, and sleeping on the job is recommended. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hurricane 5's national animal is the animal.

Hurricane 5 is ranked 133,209^th in the world and 1^st in The Rhodesian Abode for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 1,934.93 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
