The Free Land of The Source2 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by LEADER with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, pith helmet sales, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 35.405 billion Source2ians 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Administration, although Defense, Industry, and Education are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of CAPITAL. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 79.0%.
The frighteningly efficient Source2ian economy, worth a remarkable 5,090 trillion CURRENCIES 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 Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. 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 143,791 CURRENCIES, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.
Young people pass around flash drives filled with illegal music, dynamite sales and concert audiences are booming, the latest electric jet fighter has almost enough battery charge to reach cruising altitude -- provided you don't use the radar, and the police double as repo men. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Source2's national animal is the ANIMAL, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is RELIGION.
The Source2 is ranked 566th in the world and 1st in Holland for Most Stationary, with 5,514.66313728 days.
