The Lime Node of Node Lime is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, zero percent divorce rate, and punitive income tax rates. The devout population of 4.718 billion Node Limeans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 60.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Node Limean economy, worth 581 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 large, well-organized, 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 123,239 Nodecoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Therapists can always squeeze in another house-call, the government has cut taxes in the face of widespread tax evasion, copies of the constitution are used as toilet paper, and the air force's greatness is based on how many enemies are made during procurement. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Node Lime's national animal is the Circuit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Node Lime is ranked 101,747^th in the world and 84^th in The Node for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 3,215.49 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
