The Azure Node of Node Azure is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its enslaved workforce, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 4.626 billion Node Azureans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 73.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Node Azurean economy, worth 610 trillion Nodecoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 131,911 Nodecoins, with the richest citizens earning 6.6 times as much as the poorest.

The Not a Tax Haven Foundation is the most popular charity, the threat of economic apocalypse brings out the best in people, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, and the politician's labor union forces stage names upon candidates. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Node Azure's national animal is the Circuit, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Node Azure is ranked 201,595^th in the world and 134^th in The Node for Largest Black Market, with 476 billion Standard Monetary Units.
