The Satanic Kaiserreich of Hurricania Imperium is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Katrina and the Mafia with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, pith helmet sales, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 19.52 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, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry is also considered important, 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 4.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hurricanic economy, worth a remarkable 6,188 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, Retail, and Uranium Mining. 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 317,049 Reichsmarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Loud Patriotic Music Day has been ranked the seventh best new holiday of the year, rare ecosystems are being ground into profit at a record pace, contracting work is a family-run enterprise, and citizens who don't recite the Pledge of Hurricania Imperium at least three times a day are placed on a terrorist watch-list. 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 7,362^nd in the world and 2^nd in The Forge for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 479.5 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
