The Light Yellow Node of Node Light Yellow is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its smutty television, disturbing lack of elderly people, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 4.59 billion Node Light Yellowians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 63.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Node Light Yellowian economy, worth 546 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 118,970 Nodecoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The sudden rash of anti-drug laws has left everyone dazed and confused, Node Light Yellowians ask their doctors whether chili peppers are right for them, ships are encouraged to deliberately run aground onto Node Light Yellowian beaches, and industry leaders commend the government for enacting an emissions reduction strategy that reduces no Node Light Yellowian emissions at all. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Node Light Yellow's national animal is the Circuit, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Node Light Yellow is ranked 145,442^nd in the world and 4^th in The Node for Largest Populations, with 4.59 billion capita.
