The Republic of PHiLlpHiNes is a huge, genial nation, notable for its public floggings, ban on automobiles, and compulsory vegetarianism. The quiet, industrious population of 218 million PHiLlpHiNesians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Public Transport, Law & Order, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 27.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient PHiLlpHiNesian economy, worth 9.09 trillion Pesos a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Cheese Exports, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 41,679 Pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prisoners pray grey skies are gonna clear up, fighter pilots crash out of the air after failing to understand their foreign instruction manuals, plain-clothes police officers follow Dàguó tourists everywhere they go, and many feel that the government's ban on cars to combat reckless driving was "a tad excessive". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. PHiLlpHiNes's national animal is the Cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

PHiLlpHiNes is ranked 109,066^th in the world and 102^nd in Byzantion for Safest, scoring 78.83 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
