The White Lined Fever of I 30 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Eisenhower with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 11.019 billion Highwaymen 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Little Rock. The average income tax rate is 70.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Roadworthy economy, worth a remarkable 1,227 trillion tolls a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 111,407 tolls, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Mining safety laws are often more expensive than what's being mined, running away is an essential part of the elite forces' hand-to-hand training, the government is flooded with compensation requests, and foreign spirits are hard to find due to an abundance of "Cletus and Jim Bob's Homemade Roadworthy Moonshine". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. I 30's national animal is the Rabbit, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Constructionist.

I 30 is ranked 160,333rd in the world and 3,379th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 124.91236450048 days.
