The White Line Fever of I 41 is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Eiserhower with an iron fist, and notable for its feral children, free-roaming dinosaurs, and enforced nudity. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 11.206 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 medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, 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 Milwaukee. The average income tax rate is 66.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Roadworthy economy, worth a remarkable 1,326 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 large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Book Publishing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. 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 an impressive 118,387 tolls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Common misteaks slip threw as the Issues Editing Team adds issues by the hundread (I 41 has found 7 easter eggs), theatre audiences often need a telescope to see the stage, censors protect the public from lewd images of Bigtopians in duffel coats, and law schools are hurrying to teach the "prank defense" to their students. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. I 41's national animal is the Spyder, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Constructionist.

I 41 is ranked 123,823^rd in the world and 5,252^nd in Balder for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 39,659.66 Standard Monetary Units.
