The White Line Fever of I 35 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Eisenhower with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 11.022 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Des Moines. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 63.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Roadworthy economy, worth a remarkable 1,019 trillion tolls a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 92,529 tolls, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 343,899 per year while the poor average 17,493, a ratio of 19.7 to 1.

Grandiose stage parents insist superyachts and private cinemas are children's basic needs, Eisenhower accepted United Federation theatrical awards for Best Writer and Best Actress on behalf of the absent recipients, the long arm of the law possesses a rather slow hand, and Des Moines's iconic yellow taxis are nowhere to be seen. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. I 35's national animal is the Ram, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Constructionist.

I 35 is ranked 160,279th in the world and 3,211th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 124.91232977828 days.
