The Blue Violet Node of Node Blue Violet is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its ritual sacrifices, disturbing lack of elderly people, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.549 billion Node Blue Violetians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Node Blue Violetian economy, worth 520 trillion Nodecoins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 114,347 Nodecoins, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 531,237 per year while the poor average 14,791, a ratio of 35.9 to 1.

Riot police are stationed around paintings of violent protestors, nuclear warheads are frequently launched into space as a warning to invading meteoroids, the government is deliberately installing bloatware onto computers, and exterminators swarm Node Blue Violetian homes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Node Blue Violet's national animal is the Circuit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Node Blue Violet is ranked 49,737th in the world and 107th in The Node for Highest Average Incomes, with 114,347.07 Standard Monetary Units.
