The Republic of I-705 is a titanic, socially progressive nation, notable for its absence of drug laws and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 10.036 billion I-705ians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 22.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant I-705ian economy, worth 138 trillion cars a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 13,790 cars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. I-705's national animal is the driver.

I-705 is ranked 257,665^th in the world and 1^st in Interstate 705 for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -7.07 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
