“Live in the Fast Lane”

The Modified Acceleration Engine of HotRodia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 13.404 billion live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt, liberal, pro-business individuals devotes most of its attentions to Education, with areas such as the Environment and Law & Order receiving almost no funds by comparison. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, followed by Book Publishing and Uranium Mining.

New urban roads are threatening city parks, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, all recreational drugs are legal, and corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. HotRodia's national animal is the accelerus rapidamus, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the tequila.

HotRodia is ranked 7th in the region and 663rd in the world for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry.
