The Parliamentary Republic of Free Las Pinas is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by First Minister Ryu Sora Haruki with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, state-planned economy, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.532 billion Pinjins 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, outspoken government prioritizes Industry, although Education, Administration, and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Xansen. The average income tax rate is 56.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pinji economy, worth 194 trillion Intergalactic Standard Units a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 126,832 Intergalactic Standard Units, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The volume of paperwork used to complete a single environmental assessment defeats the purpose, terrorists are on a first name basis with the officials that stamp their passports, every workday begins with group therapy, and the fire brigade often deal with cases of burnt toast. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Free Las Pinas's national animal is the Blue-Striped Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Free Las Pinas is ranked 54^th in the world and 2^nd in 10000 Islands for Most Valuable International Artwork, with 14,372.45 Bank.
