The Cyrillic Macaronic Republic of Philippinia is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its public floggings, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.061 billion Philippinians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Isle of Wight. The average income tax rate is 58.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Philippine economy, worth 170 trillion insular guilders a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is 82,732 insular guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Organ donation is compulsory, only AIs know why the nation is rapidly increasing its semiconductor stockpile, the government is deliberately installing bloatware onto computers, and truck drivers turn their engines off and coast whenever they're going downhill. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Philippinia's national animal is the great white shark, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Philippinia is ranked 28,805^th in the world and 846^th in the South Pacific for Healthiest Citizens, with 8.38 bananas ingested per day.
