The third and final entry into the S-Mart series of big rigs, is the
International. It is a specially designed armored rig, meant to be able to survive the harsh
conditions of traveling through the wilderness and long distances between kingdoms. Though it is expensive, this vehicle is worth any ten conventional rigs sold by other companies.
Unlike the Kenworth and Mack, which carry a variety of different trailers, the International comes automatically with it's own specially designed 40' armored trailer, with modular attachments which can be added to the basic armored trailer for refrigeration, thousand gallon tanker attachments, and so forth. This design allows the International to carry virtually any load across average wilderness with relatively good chances of making it to a distant kingdom in one piece.
These features have made the International a very highly sought after vehicle, because nearly any business that has any foreign interests needs at some point or another to ship their wares across the hard and dangerous wilderness. This has made it a valuable commodity among mercenaries, courier companies, and industrial manufacturing firms everywhere. Some enterprising adventurers have even gone so far as to outfit the 40' trailer with a full interior, using it basically as an oversized camper or mobile home. Other uses have had this trailer outfitted with an assortment of weapons, and used as a defense for caravans of travelers or merchants. The N.O.M.A.D. Military regularly use Internationals to haul equipment around through the rural reaches of the Kingdom.

Note that the nav systems of all the S-Mart Internationals are programmed with detailed maps of the CS States, Lazlo, New Lazlo, Northern Gun, The Manistique Imperium, Kingsdale, Houstown, El Paso, Ciudad Juarez, Desert Star, Wa-Daisho, Silvereno and most of the Colorado Baronies, and most of the travel routes in between.
