The Red Node of Node Red is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, avowedly heterosexual populace, and frequent executions. The devout population of 4.581 billion Node Redians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 53.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Node Redian economy, worth 553 trillion Nodecoins a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 120,862 Nodecoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

The nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, the inner circle of Leader is looking more and more like a pink triangle, primary candidates are replaced if they fail to compliment Leader's hair, and basic multiplication is all you need to know to have a child. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Node Red's national animal is the Circuit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Node Red is ranked 41,134^th in the world and 23^rd in The Node for Nicest Citizens, with 18.34 average smiles per day.
