The Dark Khaki Node of Node Dark Khaki is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its frequent executions, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.75 billion Node Dark Khakians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 47.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Node Dark Khakian economy, worth 578 trillion Nodecoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 121,753 Nodecoins, with the richest citizens earning 9.8 times as much as the poorest.

A sincere statement of belief can get you out of anything, Node Dark Khakian novella fans become unusually flustered when thinking about Leader, war criminals are given full state funerals, and the path to inner peace is paved with state-mandated punishment. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Node Dark Khaki's national animal is the Circuit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Node Dark Khaki is ranked 306,340^th in the world and 67^th in The Node for Rudest Citizens, with 9.09 insults per minute.
