The White Line Fever of I 68 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Eisenhower with an even hand, and renowned for its public floggings, frequent executions, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 10.993 billion Highwaymen are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cumberland. The average income tax rate is 55.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Roadworthy economy, worth a remarkable 1,244 trillion tolls a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 113,209 tolls, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The average cargo freighter spends more than half its service life undergoing safety inspections, Eisenhower will only ring up foreign leaders if they agree to reverse the charges, private businesses are paving paradises to put up parking lots, and spotted owl meat is used as bait to lure wolves into traps. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. I 68's national animal is the bearcat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Constructionist.

I 68 is ranked 160,349th in the world and 3,061st in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 124.91076727928 days.
