The Freedom of TheSource is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by LEADER with an iron fist, and renowned for its lack of airports, infamous sell-swords, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 45.588 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 Defense and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of CAPITAL. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.6%.

The frighteningly efficient TheSourcean economy, worth an astonishing 10,890 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 238,892 CURRENCIES, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.

Authorities are looking for a stool pigeon to rat out who is stealing food from pigeon toilets, women are reassured that they're being oppressed for their own good, citizens are forced to donate blood once every three months, and adult unemployment is rising as available jobs are filled by young children. 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 1st in the world and 1st in Nederland for Lowest Crime Rates, with zero law-abiding acts per hour.
