The Republic of The Filippinas is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, public floggings, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 342 million Philipinos enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mynila. The average income tax rate is 40.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Filiasian economy, worth 33.8 trillion Filipine Pisoes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 98,892 Filipine Pisoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pharmaceutical companies emphatically promise that "your pills are in the mail" rather than admit any supply shortfall, politicians who vacation in East Lebatuck lose their jobs upon their return, retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, and a burger chain recently changed its name to Mack Donaldz for legal reasons. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Filippinas's national animal is the Aguila, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Filippinas is ranked 43,095^th in the world and 1,232^nd in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 2,943.62 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
