The Light Sea Green Node of Node Light Sea Green is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, free-roaming dinosaurs, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 4.671 billion Node Light Sea Greenians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 61.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Node Light Sea Greenian economy, worth 571 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 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 122,278 Nodecoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Binoculars sales are at an all-time high, a fashion designer has been arrested for inciting hatred after claiming redheads couldn't pull off vermillion, politicians have to be granted day-release from prison to speak on bills, and national park visitors are reporting a rash of poison ivy sightings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Node Light Sea Green's national animal is the Circuit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Node Light Sea Green is ranked 72,949th in the world and 124th in The Node for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,413.69 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
