The Bootylicious States of Get Fresh is a massive, economically powerful nation, ruled by Rosstafari with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies. Its compassionate population of 4.236 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, the Environment, and Social Welfare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Get Fresh Flava. The average income tax rate is 91%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Automobile Manufacturing industry.

Mothers are routinely abandoning their children in the name of women's rights, only vaccinated citizens may have free healthcare, military service is compulsory, and the Father of the House has been in office just shy of a fortnight. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Get Fresh's national animal is the Crank, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Phatty G.

Get Fresh is ranked 77th in Islandia and 94,970th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -5 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
