The Empire of Philaria

“Strength Through Persistence”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Empire of Philaria is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 354 million Philarians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 46.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Philarian economy, worth 23.3 trillion Phillars a year, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 65,785 Phillars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Big Agriculture has the government by the nuts, the government only invests in infrastructure after a natural disaster, the government violently suppresses separatist movements, and hiding wrinkles with make-up is illegal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Philaria's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Philaria is ranked 107,089^th in the world and 1,373^rd in the West Pacific for Highest Food Quality, scoring 21.74 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
