The Jones Falls Expressway of I 83 is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Eisenhower with an iron fist, and remarkable for its vat-grown people, enslaved workforce, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 11.06 billion Highwaymen are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Baltimore. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 46.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Roadworthy economy, worth a remarkable 1,092 trillion tolls a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 98,781 tolls, with the richest citizens earning 7.6 times as much as the poorest.

It's believed that women's brains will overheat if they think for themselves, cotton candy made from genuine cotton cellulose doesn't quite satisfy, there's no such thing as a safe bet, and crime suspects are forced to submit to blood testing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. I 83's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Constructionist.

I 83 is ranked 156,464^th in the world and 5,980^th in Balder for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 570.16 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
