The Community of Hurricanean Union of Regions is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Hurricane with an even hand, and renowned for its ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.184 billion Hurricaneans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 26.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Hurricanean economy, worth 63.3 trillion Hurricanes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 53,425 Hurricanes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Red Cross demand for body bags is rising while sutures go unused, boys who even ask about cheerleading are placed on the Sex Offenders Register, pet loving officers arrest citizens who don't give their dogs enough biscuits, and confused-looking pigeons slide gently off frictionless window ledges. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hurricanean Union of Regions's national animal is the Hurricane, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hurricanean Union of Regions is ranked 209,505^th in the world and 5^th in Transatlantic Pirates for Most Authoritarian, with 552.78 milliStalins.
