The Republic of Manila Bearcats is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 7.407 billion Bearcatsians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 26.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Manila Bearcatsian economy, worth 230 trillion Pesos a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 31,077 Pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Manila Bearcats's national animal is the Bearcat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Manila Bearcats is ranked 199,538^th in the world and 96^th in Philippines for Most Patriotic, with 6.78 flags saluted per person per day.
