The Federal Republic of Freshko is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Freshco Jack with an iron fist, and remarkable for its triple-decker prams, aversion to nipples, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 2.003 billion Freshkoans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Los Angeles. The average income tax rate is 55.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Freshkoan economy, worth 186 trillion Kofs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 93,039 Kofs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Students abandon classrooms for online education, you can't put down the nation's attitude to pet health, returning tourists and businessmen are detained without trial if they belong to the "wrong" religion, and belligerent citizens shoot at passing clouds for 'violating their airspace'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Freshko's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Freshko is ranked 252,950th in the world and 8,641st in Osiris for Most Primitive, scoring -161.82 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
