The Civic Republic of The City of Philadelphia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by the Civilian Emergency Council with a fair hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, national health service, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 1.428 billion Philadelphians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the Centre Maetropolis. The average income tax rate is 53.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Philadelphian economy, worth 180 trillion Gold-plated Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 126,091 Gold-plated Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.
Books are so highly regarded in The City of Philadelphia that libraries are often revered as holy shrines, government employees from The City of Philadelphia dominate international lumberjack competitions, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, and the Philadelphian football team for the Maxxmas ceasefire consists only of Intelligence Corps personnel. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The City of Philadelphia's national animal is the White-furred Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is the Folk Churches.
The City of Philadelphia is ranked 123,426th in the world and 1,853rd in The East Pacific for Most Extreme, scoring 21.21 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
