The Dark Violet Node of Node Dark Violet is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its pith helmet sales, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 4.554 billion Node Dark Violetians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Node Dark Violetian economy, worth 539 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 Trout Farming. 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 118,496 Nodecoins, with the richest citizens earning 6.1 times as much as the poorest.

It is illegal to brush crumbs off your clothing outdoors, census workers are having a hard time figuring out who is actually living in Node Dark Violet after the ban on emigration was lifted, hordes of gardening enthusiasts are being banished from cities nationwide, and organ donation is compulsory. 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 Violet's national animal is the Circuit, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Node Dark Violet is ranked 30,059^th in the world and 6^th in The Node for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 250.9 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
