The Highway of E40 is a mammoth, orderly nation, remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, ban on automobiles, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.987 billion E40ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 70.7%.

The frighteningly efficient E40ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,164 trillion Kms 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, Furniture Restoration, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 129,599 Kms, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

Riot police are stationed around paintings of violent protestors, shoppers have literally had their hands full since plastic bags were banned, gamblers often find their stakes burnt, and the government has cut taxes in the face of widespread tax evasion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. E40's national animal is the Truck, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

E40 is ranked 37,151^st in the world and 3^rd in Violetia for Highest Average Incomes, with 129,599.72 Standard Monetary Units.
