The Rather Inhospitable Interior of An Actual Hurricane is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by legendary forces of nature with a fair hand, and renowned for its lack of airports, rampant corporate plagiarism, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 10.648 billion air particles live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, corrupt, liberal government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the Eye. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 2.9%.

The frighteningly efficient blustery economy, worth a remarkable 1,126 trillion Saffir-Simpsons a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Gambling, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is an impressive 105,823 Saffir-Simpsons, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 379,262 per year while the poor average 21,176, a ratio of 17.9 to 1.

The police have been reduced to using duct tape instead of handcuffs following further cutbacks, the collars keep falling off pet snakes, amusement park rides frequently collapse due to lack of maintenance, and claims adjusters are uselessly vague. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. An Actual Hurricane's national animal is the fleeing tourist, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

An Actual Hurricane is ranked 304,057th in the world and 431st in Refugia for Most Cultured, scoring 24 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
