The Pink Holy Winter Wonderland of Hurricane XXVI is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Hurricane with an iron fist, and notable for its prohibition of alcohol, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.488 billion Hurricaneans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yggdrassil. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 46.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Hurricanean economy, worth 427 trillion gold bars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 171,827 gold bars, with the richest citizens earning 9.0 times as much as the poorest.

Kids are gathering at the local soda shop to celebrate staying out past sundown, industry tycoons rarely hide their misdeeds due to the government's habit of bailing them out, pirates armed with sonar-guided semi-autonomous torpedos and laser weapons systems are often seen capturing fishing trawlers, and the HXAF has poured billions of gold bars into anti-spaceship defenses to protect Hurricane XXVI against outsiders (Hurricane XXVI has found 1 easter egg). Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Hurricane XXVI's national animal is the bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Hurricane XXVI is ranked 23,401^st in the world and 1^st in LIB for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,951.66 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
