Hi,

With imports I thereby mean both full imports and "tracing imports", i.e.
any data that has been copied one way or another over from a third party

Including aerial imagery? Including stuff traced from Landsat?
Let's leave areal imagery out for the moment. Although if, lets say,
half the country is mapped from outside "armchair" mappers through
tracing, it would probably be similar.
Currently all of the active countries I can think of have had substantial
imports
Define "substantial"?
I am flexible there. But I had in mind counting something such as a city
wide import, all regional roads, land areas, borders, or things like
that "substantial".
and so I am wondering, which country would not be affected if for
some reason suddenly all third party sources would be "banned"?
Are you suggesting to remove data that has resulted from the above
activities,
No, I am not
or are you just trying to paint a hypothetical "OSM without
imports" picture?
Yes, more or less. Given that some people seem to be strongly arguing
that the use of third party data is "crap", "mindless" and "harmful", I
would like to get a feel for how "bad" the situation is and where there
are still "happy, undisturbed" communities left
