The Armed Republic of The City of Philadelphia is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its digital currency, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 274 million Philadelphians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Philadelphia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.2%.

The thriving Philadelphian economy, worth 25.1 trillion Black Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing.

Schools have extensive counseling programs for troubled students, the nation's arms dealers guarantee discretion and untraceable transactions, the new Liquor Legitimacy Office is besieged with job applications from people who have experience in "statistical sampling methods", and children dream of becoming physicians and physicists. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The City of Philadelphia's national animal is the Black Hawk.
