The Olive Drab Node of Node Olive Drab is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, punitive income tax rates, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, devout population of 4.521 billion Node Olive Drabians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 76.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Node Olive Drabian economy, worth 476 trillion Nodecoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 105,465 Nodecoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Rural communities are all but disenfranchised as politicians focus all their attention on winning the deciding urban votes, formerly internationally exported goods are now given away for free, nuclear warheads are frequently launched into space as a warning to invading meteoroids, and Node Olive Drabians ask their doctors whether chili peppers are right for them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Node Olive Drab's national animal is the Circuit, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Node Olive Drab is ranked 33,768th in the world and 89th in The Node for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 26,060.07 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
