The Unholy White Lined Wall of I 24 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Eisenhower with an iron fist, and remarkable for its fear of technology, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.371 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 government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Metropolis. The average income tax rate is 62.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Roadworthy economy, worth a remarkable 1,527 trillion tolls a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 134,334 tolls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

City budgets are spent entirely on supporting the town royalty, teenage girls in knee-length surfer shorts have become a cultural icon of I 24, marine biology students are shocked to discover that a whale is a mammal, and adverts depict men giving birth while cursing the women who got them into trouble. Crime is totally unknown. I 24's national animal is the Jaguar, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Constructionist.

I 24 is ranked 223,264th in the world and 10th in Tennessee for Safest, scoring 25.36 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
