The Eye of The Hurricane is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Nyan Cat with an iron fist, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, ubiquitous missile silos, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 9.484 billion Hurricaneans 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 medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the Eye of the Storm. The average income tax rate is 99.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Hurricanean economy, worth a remarkable 6,143 trillion water drops a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is a breathtaking 647,818 water drops, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Grinder at Fat Sal's Deli and Recycling Center is a national institution, short shrift is being given to applications for political asylum from illegal immigrants, ghost regiments exist only on paper, and children are terrified that the 'flying police monster' will come to take them away in the night. Crime is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. The Hurricane's national animal is the cat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Hurricaneanism.

The Hurricane is ranked 2,840^th in the world and 1^st in The Great Storm for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 7,418.34 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
