The Kingdom of Philippinessss is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, daily referendums, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 560 million Philippinessssians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 52.0%.

The powerhouse Philippinessssian economy, worth 48.6 trillion francs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Pizza Delivery, Automobile Manufacturing, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 86,733 francs, with the richest citizens earning 9.1 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians are often seen attending regional history classes at primary schools within their constituencies, the nation was recently voted "most likely to betray its allies", having skeletons in one's closet is no longer just a macabre idiom, and the central government is trying to keep things flowing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Philippinessss's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Philippinessss is ranked 249,956th in the world and 4,519th in the South Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -6.35 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
