The Violet Node of Node Violet is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its enslaved workforce, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The devout population of 4.683 billion Node Violetians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Node Violetian economy, worth 569 trillion Nodecoins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 121,552 Nodecoins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 376,473 per year while the poor average 30,236, a ratio of 12.5 to 1.

Leisure is a crime in ski towns, business is adjusting to new gender equality policies in the workplace, school plays were recently banned due to concerns of child endangerment, and economists claim no news is good news. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Node Violet's national animal is the Circuit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Node Violet is ranked 318,976^th in the world and 132^nd in The Node for Rudest Citizens, with 7.7 insults per minute.
