The Republic of Hurricane 53 is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 2.457 billion Hurricane 53ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The relatively small government prioritizes Defense, although Healthcare, Law & Order, and Welfare are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 11.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The Hurricane 53ian economy, worth 120 trillion COINZZES a year, is led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 49,135 COINZZES, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.
The military refers to helpless combatants offering surrender as "sitting ducks", bruised children are made to thank their bullies for the valuable life lessons, funeral mourners ridesharing with the deceased are encouraged to sit on the coffin to save room, and listless juries are assembled for the simplest of court cases. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Hurricane 53's national animal is the CATZZ.
Hurricane 53 is ranked 276,572nd in the world and 2nd in Ocalawaha for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 11.75 Effective Tax Rate.
