The Militarist Democracy of The Filippinas is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by the Marshal with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, pith helmet sales, and otherworldly petting zoo. 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 234,929 Bullet Shells, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The Filippinas is increasingly belligerent on the international stage, royalist is the most offensive slur in the Pinasan language, students who do not recite the national anthem each morning have to drop and give their teacher 50, and sex changes are routinely performed at The Filippinas's hospitals. 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 3,235^th in the world and 90^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 679.79 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
