The Freedom of TheSource is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by LEADER with an iron fist, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, enslaved workforce, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 45.695 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, with Administration, Law & Order, and Public Transport also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense aren't funded at all. 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 11,001 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 1,853^rd in the world and 5^th in Nederland for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 15,857.37 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
