The United Federation of Philosopy is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by President Philpot with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, humorless population of 23.132 billion Philosopians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cirrus. The average income tax rate is 99.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Philosopian economy, worth a remarkable 6,185 trillion Props a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 267,417 Props, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Both criminals and civilians are DOA, patriotic citizens chant "there's only one Philosopy" at foreigners, students and teachers are regularly stopped and searched for symbols of religious affiliation before class, and any secret that gets off someone's chest is promptly replaced. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Philosopy's national animal is the Kestrel, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Aviation.

Philosopy is ranked 1,474^th in the world and 54^th in Osiris for Smartest Citizens, with 223.51 quips per hour.
