The Eyewall of A Hurricane is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, pith helmet sales, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 2.312 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, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eye of the Storm. The average income tax rate is 69.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Hurricanean economy, worth 582 trillion waters a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Gambling. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 252,060 waters, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Boys who take just one date to the high school prom are called 'losers', adverts depict men giving birth while cursing the women who got them into trouble, cremation is compulsory for the deceased, and video evidence of cruel animal experiments tends to be of poor quality. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. A Hurricane's national animal is the cloud, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

A Hurricane is ranked 323,375^th in the world and 17^th in The Great Storm for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 12.34 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
