The Royal Blue Node of Node Royal Blue is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.587 billion Node Royal Blueans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 61.3%.

The all-consuming Node Royal Bluean economy, worth 551 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 120,188 Nodecoins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 355,254 per year while the poor average 31,957, a ratio of 11.1 to 1.

Forty-year-old men are asked for their ID before watching the latest pony cartoon movies, the latest electric jet fighter has almost enough battery charge to reach cruising altitude -- provided you don't use the radar, the sun rises an hour later on border communities, and Blackacrean security services are wondering why Leader is so fond of the numbers 6, 7 and 9. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Node Royal Blue's national animal is the Circuit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Node Royal Blue is ranked 28,328^th in the world and 21^st in The Node for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,756.68 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
