The Archipelagic Province Union of The Philippine Islands Union is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Ferdinand Marcos Jr with a fair hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, otherworldly petting zoo, and public floggings. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.025 billion Filipinos love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Manila. The average income tax rate is 40.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Filipino economy, worth 98.5 trillion Pesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is 96,144 Pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Movies depict muscle-bound women kicking down a titanium door to carry hysterical men to safety, legislation sometimes has to battle through weeks of filibustering to pass, sleeping on the job is recommended, and civil servants are no longer allowed to cross their t's. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Philippine Islands Union's national animal is the Philippine Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

The Philippine Islands Union is ranked 119,634^th in the world and 59^th in Commonwealth of Democratic States for Most Extreme, scoring 21.69 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
