The Many bits and bobs of Get Real is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by TRFKAQ with an iron fist, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, disturbing lack of elderly people, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 3.905 billion get realites 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, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Industry, with Law & Order, Environment, and Administration also on the agenda, while Education and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Relai. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 62.0%.

The frighteningly efficient get realite economy, worth 355 trillion fish a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Retail, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is 91,118 fish, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 427,279 per year while the poor average 11,585, a ratio of 36.9 to 1.

The booming slave trade is now government-funded, citizens can only enjoy the splendor of the natural world in designated 'Majesty Appreciation' zones, children have only the most basic of education, and get realites must literally pay their respects to hear from their political representatives. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force. Get Real's national animal is the fish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is sleeping.

Get Real is ranked 97,758th in the world and 144th in The Black Hawks for Safest, scoring 83.04 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
