The Democratic Republic of The Sovereign Philippine Isles is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 338 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, with Education, Industry, and Welfare also on the agenda, 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 20.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Pilipino economy, worth 28.1 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 Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. Average income is 83,045 Philippine Pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Photographers can be found hiding behind the curtains in Leader's bedroom, street crime is on the rise as police officers spend most of their time in prisons, The Sovereign Philippine Isles successfully hosted the The East Pacific Olympics, and dictionary sales have hit an all-time high. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Sovereign Philippine Isles's national animal is the Philippine Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

The Sovereign Philippine Isles is ranked 24,351^st in the world and 411^th in The East Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 66,020.81 Standard Monetary Units.
