The United Federation of Philosopy is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by President Philpot with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, humorless population of 23.103 billion Philosopians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cirrus. The average income tax rate is 99.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Philosopian economy, worth a remarkable 6,175 trillion Props a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 267,291 Props, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scientists who publish a non-reproducible result are tarred and feathered, the government is plagued with uncertainty, disadvantaged neighbourhoods have become no-go areas after sundown, and group hugs break out during floor votes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Philosopy's national animal is the Kestrel, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Aviation.

Philosopy is ranked 189,202^nd in the world and 9,995^th in Osiris for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 1,126.37 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
