The Pink Holy Winter Wonderland of Hurricane MDCCCII is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Hurricane with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.916 billion Hurricaneans are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yggdrassil. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Hurricanean economy, worth 256 trillion gold bars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 134,053 gold bars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 873,455 per year while the poor average 8,153, a ratio of 107 to 1.

Politicians are often seen with soldiers pointing guns at their heads, prohibition has allowed a Maxtopian immigrant known only as "Nipples" to establish an illicit breast milk syndicate, all marriages are arranged by the government, and the government is rumored to hire body doubles whose full-time jobs are to cry at public events. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Hurricane MDCCCII's national animal is the bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Hurricane MDCCCII is ranked 23,259^th in the world and 108^th in Europeia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,958.29 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
