The Thomas P O'Neill Jr Tunnel of I 93 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Eisenhower with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, frequent executions, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 11.139 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Boston. The average income tax rate is 54.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Roadworthy economy, worth a remarkable 1,547 trillion tolls a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 138,970 tolls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.
The government is purchasing vast amounts of palm oil for plastics production, the nation's soldiers often believe they're in the Air Force, reflection is vital for badly behaved politicians, and the Treasury has been accused of flushing money down the toilet. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. I 93's national animal is the Corolla, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Constructionist.
I 93 is ranked 113,231st in the world and 4,206th in Lazarus for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,322.22 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
