The Pink Holy Winter Wonderland of Hurricane MCMXIII is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Hurricane with an iron fist, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.824 billion Hurricaneans are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yggdrassil. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 16.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Hurricanean economy, worth 268 trillion gold bars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 147,359 gold bars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 800,933 per year while the poor average 13,950, a ratio of 57.4 to 1.

Ad hoc militias patrol the streets in an effort to control rampant crime, almost all of the nation's water is piped into the country from abroad for exorbitant prices, awkward tourists are offered the 'unique experience' of rodeo clown, and the HMAF has poured billions of gold bars into anti-spaceship defenses to protect Hurricane MCMXIII against outsiders (Hurricane MCMXIII 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 MCMXIII's national animal is the bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Hurricaneanism.

Hurricane MCMXIII is ranked 255,781^st in the world and 19^th in Reparune for Highest Poor Incomes, with 13,950.46 Standard Monetary Units.
