The Medium Purple Node of Node Medium Purple is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, ubiquitous missile silos, and infamous sell-swords. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.613 billion Node Medium Purpleans 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 64.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Node Medium Purplean economy, worth 561 trillion Nodecoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 121,646 Nodecoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Diplomats miss flights while wandering Node Medium Purple City Airport's endless art maze, students who refuse to pray are expelled from school, tabloids coo over Leader's expected child, and drill sergeants yell in the ears of bespectacled nerds in cybermilitary "reboot camps". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Node Medium Purple's national animal is the Circuit, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Node Medium Purple is ranked 104,392^nd in the world and 56^th in The Node for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 42,819.7 Standard Monetary Units.
