The Home Islands Republic of Dhrilippines is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Ferdinand Alexander Araneta Marcos III with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, vat-grown people, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 3.279 billion Catholic Imperials are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Manila. The average income tax rate is 16.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Catholic Imperial economy, worth 292 trillion Catholic Imperial Bitcoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Tourism. Average income is 89,174 Catholic Imperial Bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

Diaper-wrapped shawarma is a fan-favorite, a third of Catholic Imperials are e-certified CEOs, sick Catholic Imperials are hair today and gone tomorrow, and the wheel has been patented by at least a hundred people. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dhrilippines's national animal is the Carabao and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Dhrilippines is ranked 317,054^th in the world and 18^th in Dhrilippine Empire for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring -7.75 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
