The Freedom of TheSource is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by LEADER with an iron fist, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, frequent executions, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 45.701 billion TheSourceans 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Industry, although Administration, Law & Order, and Public Transport are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of CAPITAL. The average income tax rate is 3.7%.

The frighteningly efficient TheSourcean economy, worth an astonishing 11,002 trillion CURRENCIES a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 240,753 CURRENCIES, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.

Corporate lawyers are switching careers to the more lucrative field of green politics, the government has ordered a moratorium on referenda, nobody ever seems to enter or leave the armour-plated flying castle that serves as the seat of government, and a stitch in time could see you serving nine. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. TheSource's national animal is the ANIMAL, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is FAITH.

TheSource is ranked 265,842nd in the world and 193rd in Nederland for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -8.94 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
