Use the question supplied by the user as one Perplexity request and keep the answer in the question’s language. Use the available Sonar model with its required fixed settings: temperature 0.3, top_p 0.5, and a 200-token answer limit. Send the question as one user message and set a clear, neutral system instruction. If the question names a country, use that country for search; otherwise use the United States. Fill all required settings in the background. Return source links only when this response includes them; if no source annotations are present, say so without claiming there are no citations elsewhere. This is one answer, not ongoing monitoring. Do not ask the user to choose a model or provide technical settings.

Task:
Ask Perplexity [your question] and show any source links it returns.
