The Forest Green Node of Node Forest Green is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its digital currency, free-roaming dinosaurs, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.548 billion Node Forest Greenians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 55.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Node Forest Greenian economy, worth 444 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, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Automobile Manufacturing. 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 97,741 Nodecoins, with the richest citizens earning 8.4 times as much as the poorest.

Children are terrified that the 'flying police monster' will come to take them away in the night, Node Forest Greenian tourists are banned from many nations due to their tendency to randomly explode, families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, and parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Node Forest Green's national animal is the Circuit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Node Forest Green is ranked 43,851st in the world and 62nd in The Node for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 199.68 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
