The Militarist Democracy of The Filippinas is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Marshal with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, sprawling nuclear power plants, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.58 billion Pinasans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mynila. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Pinasan economy, worth a remarkable 1,545 trillion Bullet Shells a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 234,909 Bullet Shells, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Diplomatic missions typically end with a flurry of childish insults, accusations and phlegm, citizens who plan overseas vacations are barred from running for political office, The Filippinas is increasingly belligerent on the international stage, and royalist is the most offensive slur in the Pinasan language. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Filippinas's national animal is the Aguila, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Pinasan Exceptionalism.

The Filippinas is ranked 3,231^st in the world and 90^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 680.5 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
