The Dark Cyan Node of Node Dark Cyan is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its national health service, public floggings, and infamous sell-swords. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 4.536 billion Node Dark Cyanians 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, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Node Dark Cyanian economy, worth 555 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. 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 122,388 Nodecoins, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 532,826 per year while the poor average 17,793, a ratio of 29.9 to 1.

The government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments, parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list, international tensions are high as Node Dark Cyan threatens any government with the audacity to arrest its citizens, and boys are shocked by the revolutionary lesson that women are actually human. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Node Dark Cyan's national animal is the Circuit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Node Dark Cyan is ranked 29,665^th in the world and 66^th in The Node for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 27,786.41 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
