The Federal Commonwealth of Philadelippines is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Levus Maku with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, daily referendums, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 9.649 billion Phillians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The large, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neubrin. The average income tax rate is 98.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Phillian economy, worth a remarkable 2,238 trillion Phillian Bits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 232,030 Phillian Bits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

A stocking with a crooked seam or a tie without a full Windsor knot are grounds for instant dismissal, disputed territories across Mitteleuropa are being claimed by Phillian college students, kids looking for shark teeth have become ancient history, and code enforcement officers circle wealthy Phillians like vultures. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Philadelippines's national animal is the Phoenix, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Philadelippines is ranked 164,185^th in the world and 31^st in Mitteleuropa for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 662.31 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
