The Satanic Kaiserreich of Hurricania Imperium is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Katrina and the Mafia with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, enslaved workforce, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 15.945 billion Hurricanes are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The tiny, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry also on the agenda, while Environment and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hurricania Konigsberg. The average income tax rate is 3.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Hurricanic economy, worth a remarkable 5,069 trillion Reichsmarks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Gambling, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 317,948 Reichsmarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Blasphemers and government critics often die in very unusual and unlikely accidents, nobody ever seems to enter or leave the armour-plated flying castle that serves as the seat of government, psychological disorders are a taboo subject, and contemporary art museums showcase the latest in centuries-old art. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Hurricania Imperium's national animal is the Hurricane, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Satanism.

Hurricania Imperium is ranked 21,003rd in the world and 2nd in Reichtangle for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 6,967.18 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
