The Free Land of Hurricane12 is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Nash Roberts with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 7.778 billion Hurricane12ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Eye of the Storm. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 56.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Hurricane12ian economy, worth 848 trillion Millibars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 109,083 Millibars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 335,782 per year while the poor average 27,376, a ratio of 12.3 to 1.

Motivational posters send motorists positive vibes in high-risk areas, the government is continually probing the galaxy in search of alien life, excited shovel-bearing geeks wander the countryside, and it's not only teenagers who mess around with fake IDs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hurricane12's national animal is the Hurricane Toad, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Prognostication.

Hurricane12 is ranked 19,628^th in the world and 1^st in Hurricane 12 for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,387.64 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
