The Eye of Hurricane 1 is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Hurricane with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 7.248 billion Hurricaneans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eye of the Storm. The average income tax rate is 26.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Hurricanean economy, worth 225 trillion currencies a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Soda Sales, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 31,099 currencies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Distrust of taps has many people bathing only with bottled mineral water, The Pipe Bomb Makers' Pop-Up Book can be found in preschool libraries, Hurricane is the self-declared God of all Hurricane 1, and it is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hurricane 1's national animal is the animal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Hurricaneanism.

Hurricane 1 is ranked 272,211^th in the world and 1^st in The Galactic Union of Nations for Smartest Citizens, with 18.64 quips per hour.
