The Khaki Node of Node Khaki is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, ban on automobiles, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 4.578 billion Node Khakians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 66.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Node Khakian economy, worth 514 trillion Nodecoins a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 112,431 Nodecoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The army insists there is nothing gay about men in uniforms rolling in the mud, students are explicitly allowed to write answers on their forearms before exams, a positive GPA is all it takes to get an elite education, and leisure is a crime in ski towns. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Node Khaki's national animal is the Circuit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Node Khaki is ranked 58,398^th in the world and 77^th in The Node for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 66.33 Effective Tax Rate.
