The Dark Sea Green Node of Node Dark Sea Green is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its smutty television, parental licensing program, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.548 billion Node Dark 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 large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 74.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Node Dark Sea Greenian economy, worth 537 trillion Nodecoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 118,106 Nodecoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government considers it a sacred duty to video bikini-clad beach swimmers, military parades quietly tiptoe their way through the streets, construction of the Really Big Hadron Collider is underway, and government-sponsored WiFi allows farmers to rant about city folks in real time. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Node Dark Sea Green's national animal is the Circuit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Node Dark Sea Green is ranked 41,276th in the world and 49th in The Node for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 207.98 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
