The Ghost White Node of Node Ghost White is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.575 billion Node Ghost Whiteans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 75.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Node Ghost Whitean economy, worth 568 trillion Nodecoins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 124,194 Nodecoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Art is not complete without a touch of alizarin blood and titanium sweat, the Ministry of Health has reported a sharp increase in the incidence of delayed menopause, military barracks resemble five-star hotels, and prison reforms have replaced communal luaus with communal loos. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Node Ghost White's national animal is the Circuit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Node Ghost White is ranked 20,131st in the world and 2nd in The Node for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,329.82 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
