The Freedom Fighters of Hurricane Fighter Plane is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 1.99 billion are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whoever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Religion & Spirituality, and Social Equality. The average income tax rate is 47%, but much higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Book Publishing.

Parents live in fear of governmental 'child protection' squads, it is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws, cheese has become the new icon of political dissent, and the insurance industry is outlawed. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is moderate, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Hurricane Fighter Plane's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the pound.

Hurricane Fighter Plane is ranked 283rd in Kyzikos and 70,020th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -1 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
