The Tropical Refreshments of Free Las Pinas is a colossal, genial nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 5.108 billion Pinjins 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 enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Xansen. The average income tax rate is 97.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Pinji economy, worth 897 trillion Intergalactic Standard Units 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 Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 175,678 Intergalactic Standard Units, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Visiting dignitaries make excuses to leave functions early and head to the nearest pub, the nation's industries are scrambling to switch to biodegradable plastics, Maxtopian villagers starve by the time Pinji officials even file the appropriate paperwork needed to help them, and the new national campaign exhorts men to "Show Some Class - Don't Sit On Your Ass". Crime is totally unknown. Free Las Pinas's national animal is the Blue-striped Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Free Las Pinas is ranked 1,112^th in the world and 21^st in 10000 Islands for Nicest Citizens, with 92.19 average smiles per day.
