The Peru Node of Node Peru is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, keen interest in outer space, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.62 billion Node Peruans 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 57.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Node Peruan economy, worth 546 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, Woodchip Exports, and Cheese 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 118,357 Nodecoins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 395,246 per year while the poor average 26,367, a ratio of 15.0 to 1.

Mechanics are often exhausted by their work, many politicians are serving jail time for minor drug offenses, thieves claim they're simply working for the tax agency, and tabloids coo over Leader's expected child. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Node Peru's national animal is the Circuit, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Node Peru is ranked 45,508^th in the world and 61^st in The Node for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,093.54 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
