The Parliamentary Republic of Free Las Pinas is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Ryu Sora Haruki with a fair hand, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, digital currency, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.508 billion Pinjins 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, outspoken government prioritizes Industry, with Education, Administration, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Xansen. The average income tax rate is 51.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pinji economy, worth 191 trillion Intergalactic Standard Units 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, Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. 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 126,731 Intergalactic Standard Units, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The new Blue-Striped Tiger Supremacy Party is faring well in the polls, sales of pregnancy testing kits are booming, scientists earn more grant money for reproducing old experiments than trying anything new, and leading ethologists are being investigated for illegal electoral interference. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Free Las Pinas's national animal is the Blue-Striped Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Free Las Pinas is ranked 191,435^th in the world and 882^nd in 10000 Islands for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 1.61 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
