The Eye of Hurricane 59 is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Hurricane with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 5.056 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eye of the Storm. The average income tax rate is 27.2%.

The Hurricanean economy, worth 238 trillion currencies a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Soda Sales, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 47,177 currencies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Hurricane 59's national animal is the animal, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Hurricaneanism.
