The Light Pink Node of Node Light Pink is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and enslaved workforce. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.701 billion Node Light Pinkians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 75.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Node Light Pinkian economy, worth 542 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 slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, 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 115,309 Nodecoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.
Boats straying just metres away from the shore will raise the ire of the Coast Guard, poaching has been on the rise after animals from the nation's zoos were released into the wild, virtual assistants are seen with increasing suspicion every time they get an upgrade, and the urinary fragrance of seedier establishments is thankfully hidden by the smell of stale smoke. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Node Light Pink's national animal is the Circuit, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Node Light Pink is ranked 28,064th in the world and 28th in The Node for Lowest Crime Rates, with 88.55 law-abiding acts per hour.
