The Pearl of the Orient of Greater Maharlikans is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Lakandula with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, pith helmet sales, and smutty television. The compassionate population of 2.831 billion Maharlikans 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 government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maynila. The average income tax rate is 80.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Maharlikan economy, worth 395 trillion Maharlikan 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 139,871 Maharlikan Pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Vaccinations are mandatory, the general public only knows their favorite politician's first name, coconut-half banging former royals skip around the countryside seeking gullible peasants to rule, and all you have to do is pray to get into Greater Maharlikans. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Greater Maharlikans's national animal is the Maharlikan eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Freedom of Thought.

Greater Maharlikans is ranked 257,163rd in the world and 342nd in Council of Asia for Most Stationary, with 16.13205911992 days.
