The United Federation of Philosopy is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by President Philpot with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, smutty television, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, humorless population of 23.25 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 99.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Philosopian economy, worth a remarkable 6,215 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 267,337 Props, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There has been a rapid increase of noise complaints over the sound of buzzing bees, astronauts take one small step for Philosopy and one giant step backward from confrontation, doctors prescribe medicines but they rarely dispense hope or compassion, and one tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber. 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 277^th in the world and 7^th in Osiris for Safest, scoring 195.75 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
