The Republic of I-43 is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 3.542 billion I-43ians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The tiny, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 8.5%.
The I-43ian economy, worth 170 trillion cars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 48,272 cars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.
Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. I-43's national animal is the driver, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
I-43 is ranked 84,158th in the world and 1st in Interstate 43 for Smartest Citizens, with 36.1 quips per hour.
