The Formerly Unlimited Speed of I-90 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Eisenhower with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, ritual sacrifices, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.103 billion Highwaymen are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Billings. The average income tax rate is 64.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Roadworthy economy, worth a remarkable 1,016 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 slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Soda Sales. 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 91,541 tolls, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Adults have never outgrown their fear of monsters, the tallest mountains are adorned with roller coasters, Highwaymen wonder "if a tree falls in the woods with no credible witnesses, who wants to know?", and the government is rounding up computers and beating them into plowshares. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. I-90's national animal is the Cavalier, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Constructionist.

I-90 is ranked 95,722^nd in the world and 3,194^th in Lazarus for Most Primitive, scoring -3.74 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
