The White Line Fever of I 2 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Eisenhower with an even hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, ubiquitous missile silos, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, devout population of 11.307 billion Highwaymen have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Harlingen. The average income tax rate is 57.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Roadworthy economy, worth a remarkable 1,071 trillion tolls a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 94,785 tolls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Major cities run on potato batteries, spoiler warnings are now given out before political speeches, owning a really cute pet is grounds for immediate investigation, and patriotic citizens chant "there's only one I 2" at foreigners. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. I 2's national animal is the Gremlin and its national religion is Constructionist.

I 2 is ranked 28,329^th in the world and 17^th in Texas for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 5,885.59 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
