The Holy White Line Fever of I 73 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Eisenhower with an iron fist, and renowned for its ritual sacrifices, public floggings, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.015 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 Law & Order, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Greensboro. The average income tax rate is 68.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Roadworthy economy, worth a remarkable 1,296 trillion tolls a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 117,711 tolls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Parents who refuse to vaccinate their children are given a short jail sentence, there's a bright dawn ahead for I 73, the government is hoping that medical aid will speak louder than human rights abuses, and the Great Pyramid of Greensboro can be seen from miles away. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. I 73's national animal is the Batmobile, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Constructionist.

I 73 is ranked 160,299th in the world and 3,058th in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 124.9102325574 days.
