The Dark Cyan Node of Node Dark Cyan is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its infamous sell-swords, zero percent divorce rate, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 896 million Node Dark Cyanians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 71.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Node Dark Cyanian economy, worth 84.7 trillion Nodecoins a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 94,484 Nodecoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

The arms industry is backed by government subsidies and harsh anti-protest laws are in place, children seem to be getting better at lying these days, citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling", and 4-year-olds studying for their mathematics exams are anxious that they will be unemployable in adulthood if they fail. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Node Dark Cyan's national animal is the Circuit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Node Dark Cyan is ranked 132,423^rd in the world and 72^nd in The Node for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,803.69 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
