The Republic of Hurricane 37 is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its suspicion of poets. The hard-working population of 2.293 billion Hurricane 37ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 22.8%.

The Hurricane 37ian economy, worth 91.1 trillion lire a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 39,725 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

The mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, the studies of art and philosophy are banned, and landless farmers wander forlornly in the government's many national parks. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hurricane 37's national animal is the unicorn.

Hurricane 37 is ranked 139,558^th in the world and 1^st in Southfield for Most Authoritarian, with 755.93 milliStalins.
