The Web Gray Node of Node Web Gray is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its avant-garde cinema, frequent executions, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 4.537 billion Node Web Grayians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 37.3%.

The all-consuming Node Web Grayian economy, worth 562 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. 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 124,039 Nodecoins, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 511,186 per year while the poor average 19,816, a ratio of 25.8 to 1.

Elderly tribespeople die in bed surrounded by loved ones and linguists, homeless people are periodically found dead upon altars to assorted deities, thousands of children die every day from easily curable illnesses, and teens graduate from front of house retail to the frontlines of war. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Node Web Gray's national animal is the Circuit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Node Web Gray is ranked 233,477^th in the world and 115^th in The Node for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 670.19 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
