The 💀 Silent Glare 💀 of Free Source is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Kira with an iron fist, and notable for its conspicuous electricity pylons, avant-garde cinema, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 9.846 billion Innocents are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tokyo. The average income tax rate is 80.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Free Sourcean economy, worth a remarkable 1,600 trillion Lifespans a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 162,520 Lifespans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Netizens fiercely argue over who loves Kira more, pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi, the nation has a strict 'no marauding undead' law (Free Source has found 3 easter eggs), and there's no escape from the rule of law... or police brutality. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Free Source's national animal is the catgirl, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Free Source is ranked 6,744th in the world and 337th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 109.39 law-abiding acts per hour.
