The Light Steel Blue Node of Node Light Steel Blue is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, infamous sell-swords, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.565 billion Node Light Steel Blueans 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 65.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Node Light Steel Bluean economy, worth 491 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, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. 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 107,730 Nodecoins, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.

Military parades quietly tiptoe their way through the streets, report cards now include a 'Pain Tolerance' grading column, any citizen who cries is immediately assigned a psychiatrist, and the government is continually probing the galaxy in search of alien life. 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 Steel Blue's national animal is the Circuit, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Node Light Steel Blue is ranked 110,668^th in the world and 144^th in The Node for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 772.77 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
