The Light Cyan Node of Node Light Cyan is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its closed borders, lack of airports, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 4.615 billion Node Light Cyanians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 65.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Node Light Cyanian economy, worth 515 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 111,615 Nodecoins, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.

The government insists that a ghost voted ten million times in the last election, top-shelf magazines feature risqué centrefold spreads of ladies' wrists, voting is voluntary, and internet searches for the inventor of the three-wheeled steam-powered Node Light Cyanian weed picker are way up. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Node Light Cyan's national animal is the Circuit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Node Light Cyan is ranked 265,762^nd in the world and 108^th in The Node for Safest, scoring 21.74 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
