The Democratic Republic of The Sovereign Philippine Isles is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 361 million Filipinos hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government prioritizes Administration, although Education, Industry, and Welfare are also considered important, while Environment receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kalakhang Maynila. The average income tax rate is 20.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Pilipino economy, worth 30.4 trillion Philippine Pesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 84,314 Philippine Pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.
