The Girls in Convertibles of I 37 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Eisenhower with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 11.16 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of San Antonio. The average income tax rate is 43.8%.
The all-consuming Roadworthy economy, worth a remarkable 1,198 trillion tolls a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 107,396 tolls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.
Occam's razor has sliced to pieces any childhood belief in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy, tumbleweeds are seen blowing through the nation's airspace, remote-control hang-gliding scarecrows patrol the skies to keep songbirds from leaving the nation's borders, and ruff times are ahead for those who aren't keen on party costumes. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. I 37's national animal is the Road Runner, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Constructionist.
I 37 is ranked 110,297th in the world and 3,873rd in Osiris for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,429.69 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
