The Deep Pink Node of Node Deep Pink is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.575 billion Node Deep Pinkians 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 Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 70.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Node Deep Pinkian economy, worth 612 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. 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 133,921 Nodecoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Arms manufacturing has been put at an arm's length, autocrats are persona non grata, translators have been hired to deal with the varying regional accents during national political debates, and prisons are filled with the cackles and sobs of a deranged inmate population. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Node Deep Pink's national animal is the Circuit, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Node Deep Pink is ranked 241,005^th in the world and 121^st in The Node for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 595.07 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
