The White Lined Wall of I 57 is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Eisenhower with an even hand, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, frequent executions, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 11.003 billion Highwaymen are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chicago. The average income tax rate is 59.3%.

The all-consuming Roadworthy economy, worth a remarkable 1,188 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 Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. 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 108,053 tolls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Travelers are subject to extensive searches if beet stains are visible on their clothing, chess defeat has made Eisenhower the laughingstock of dictators and grandmasters alike, light entertainment shows are light on actual entertainment, and citizens are regularly arrested in queues for 'loitering'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. I 57's national animal is the Viper, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Constructionist.

I 57 is ranked 160,344th in the world and 3,059th in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 124.911204779 days.
