The Militarist Republic of The Filippinas is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Marshal Lakarda Altarehos with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, sprawling nuclear power plants, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 11.615 billion Pinasans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mynila. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 74.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Pinasan economy, worth a remarkable 3,515 trillion Pinasan Casings a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 302,665 Pinasan Casings, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,012,415 per year while the poor average 67,258, a ratio of 15.1 to 1.

The phrase 'spreading like wildfire' is no longer in the public lexicon, where there's smoke there's the Pinasan Forestry Department, it's best not to ask what goes into Mynila Fried Chicken's secret blend of herbs and spices, and almost half of the child population live rough on the streets. Crime is totally unknown. The Filippinas's national animal is the Aguila, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The Filippinas is ranked 37,549^th in the world and 604^th in the South Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,357.44 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
