The Holy Hell of Congestion of I 85 is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Eisenhower with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 11.011 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 Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Charlotte. The average income tax rate is 42.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Roadworthy economy, worth a remarkable 1,331 trillion tolls a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 120,885 tolls, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Armed security details escort librarians to their homes, the justice of I 85 is considered superior to that of other nations, copies of the constitution are used as toilet paper, and lawyers turn down litigation cases and corporate work in order to focus on lucrative public defence work. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. I 85's national animal is the Sunbird, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Constructionist.

I 85 is ranked 160,368th in the world and 3,387th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 124.9032533952 days.
