The San Fran-Oakland Bay Bridge of I 80 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Eisenhower with an iron fist, and notable for its public floggings, ban on automobiles, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 11.118 billion Highwaymen are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lincoln. The average income tax rate is 51.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Roadworthy economy, worth a remarkable 1,030 trillion tolls a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is 92,723 tolls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

I 80 is notorious for its citizens' infidelity, warfare increasingly resembles a video game, the nation's declaring that sharing nukes is caring, and lending firms are subject to strict government regulations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. I 80's national animal is the Murcielago, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Constructionist.

I 80 is ranked 282,659th in the world and 10,819th in Lazarus for Most Beautiful Environments, with 5 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
