The Catholic Nation of Republic of Dhrilippines is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Ferdinand Alexander Araneta Marcos III with an even hand, and notable for its ritual sacrifices, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 3.4 billion Catholic Imperials have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Manila. The average income tax rate is 17.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Catholic Imperial economy, worth 353 trillion Catholic Imperial Bitcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 103,919 Catholic Imperial Bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Military officers are given medals for disobeying orders, wildlife near farms is slowly becoming extinct, cheese has become the new icon of political dissent, and AI chess masters play the Bongcloud opening to mock their human opponents. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dhrilippines's national animal is the Carabao and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Dhrilippines is ranked 100,000^th in the world and 1,044^th in Imperium Christianum for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 3,260.67 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
