The Indian Red Node of Node Indian Red is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its infamous sell-swords, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.566 billion Node Indian Redians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 72.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Node Indian Redian economy, worth 600 trillion Nodecoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 131,618 Nodecoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's interest in space is at an all-time high while interest in saving the planet is at an all-time low, people who tease dwarfs are being cut down to size, engineers ask liberal arts majors "Do you want fries with that?", and the government seizes corporate assets it deems 'scary enough'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Node Indian Red's national animal is the Circuit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Node Indian Red is ranked 47,811^th in the world and 33^rd in The Node for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 2,146.46 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
