The Kingdom of Ang Philippines is a colossal, economically powerful nation, ruled by Rosito Jozefo I with an iron fist, and renowned for its happy-go-lucky citizens. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 9.016 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Religion & Spirituality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Manila. The average income tax rate is 88%, and even higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Midnight raids drag couples from their homes in the name of decency, the government is spending billions of taxpayer pesos to support the Arms Manufacturing industry, religious education is a new government priority, and retail stores offer sales every hour on the hour. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ang Philippines's national animal is the bald eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Roman Catholicism , and its currency is the peso.

Ang Philippines is ranked 1st in Xanadou and 2,097th in the world for Stupidest Citizens, scoring 16 on the Average Edu-UNtellignce® Test Score.
