The Epic Racing Series of Highspeed Etoile is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, smutty television, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.558 billion Highspeed Etoileans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Industry, with Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Law & Order receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fuji SuperSpeedway. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Highspeed Etoilean economy, worth 162 trillion yen a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Soda Sales, and Gambling. Average income is an impressive 104,013 yen, with the richest citizens earning 7.1 times as much as the poorest.

Highspeed Etoile has become a gigantic dustbowl filled with tourists and mean desperados, the best way to be heard in politics is to speak softly and carry a big comedy prop, anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper, and bemused citizens are encouraged to sing foreign-language hymns of religions they have never heard of. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Highspeed Etoile's national animal is the car, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Highspeed Etoile is ranked 286,034th in the world and 4,254th in Ambition for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -5.93 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
