The Purple Node of Node Purple is a colossal, genial nation, renowned for its public floggings, ubiquitous missile silos, and zero percent divorce rate. The humorless, devout population of 4.615 billion Node Purpleans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 71.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Node Purplean economy, worth 580 trillion Nodecoins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 125,780 Nodecoins, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 596,789 per year while the poor average 15,644, a ratio of 38.1 to 1.

The government has returned all business to private ownership, the Node Purple City Prison Revue puts on a better stage show than anything in the Theatre District, dissing one's former country is a prerequisite to apply for Node Purplean citizenship, and the politician's labor union forces stage names upon candidates. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Node Purple's national animal is the Circuit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Node Purple is ranked 12,963^rd in the world and 3^rd in The Node for Safest, scoring 117.11 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
