The White Line Fever of I 8 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Eisenhower with an even hand, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, pith helmet sales, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed population of 11.296 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 medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Administration, with Industry, Education, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Environment isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yuma. The average income tax rate is 63.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Roadworthy economy, worth a remarkable 1,309 trillion tolls a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Retail, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 115,926 tolls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The nation has chosen not to live in interesting times, racial supremacists have a burning desire to deal with immigrants, the state considers itself the 'third parent' of every child in the nation, and 'Totally Not Partisan News' is a line item on the government budget. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. I 8's national animal is the Bluebird, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Constructionism.

I 8 is ranked 105,863rd in the world and 10th in Arizona for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 42,081.17 Standard Monetary Units.
