The Greater Philippine State of Emperio Maharlika is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Punong Fernando Gabriel Flores with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 3.853 billion Filipinos 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bagong Maynila. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 75.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Filipino economy, worth 695 trillion Pesos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 180,614 Pesos, with the richest citizens earning 6.3 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas, old warplanes and tanks that break down can't be repaired since no one makes the parts anymore, Punong Fernando Gabriel Flores is too busy listening to praise to get any work done, and reddish-brown is the new black. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Emperio Maharlika's national animal is the Philippine Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Emperio Maharlika is ranked 44,395^th in the world and 13^th in Philippines for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 11,117.38 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
