The Liberators of Closed Sources is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Great Bazr with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory vegetarianism, triple-decker prams, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 18.075 billion Contributors are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Law & Order, and Education also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Amadeus. The average income tax rate is 97.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Contributing economy, worth a remarkable 3,139 trillion Qejjs 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Cheese Exports. 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 173,708 Qejjs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 526,635 per year while the poor average 44,555, a ratio of 11.8 to 1.

Education is transforming people into first-rate snobs, elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, terrorist videos start by thanking their sponsors, and citizens no longer take selfies with their dead relatives at funerals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Closed Sources's national animal is the Saas, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Armirism.

Closed Sources is ranked 19,803rd in the world and 5th in Banaanvraag for Largest Populations, with 18.1 billion capita.
