The Moccasin Node of Node Moccasin is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, enslaved workforce, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.686 billion Node Moccasinians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 73.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Node Moccasinian economy, worth 554 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Tourism. 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 118,244 Nodecoins, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 459,025 per year while the poor average 20,851, a ratio of 22.0 to 1.

There's no escape from the rule of law... or police brutality, more sidewalk is dedicated to animals than people, overly distant dads are conscripted into national nappy service, and the new Refuse Hills housing development is under construction. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Node Moccasin's national animal is the Circuit, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Node Moccasin is ranked 36,437^th in the world and 81^st in The Node for Lowest Crime Rates, with 84.07 law-abiding acts per hour.
