The Medium Blue Node of Node Medium Blue is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 4.582 billion Node Medium Blueans 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 71.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Node Medium Bluean economy, worth 551 trillion Nodecoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 120,272 Nodecoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The working classes live and die on the fields of the farming communes, military recruitment numbers are down as citizens object on 'moral grounds', the air force's greatness is based on how many enemies are made during procurement, and ersatz chicken has left the nation's citizens with a bad taste in their mouths. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Node Medium Blue's national animal is the Circuit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Node Medium Blue is ranked 236,308^th in the world and 117^th in The Node for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 641.49 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
