The Catholic State of Holy Filipino Empire is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Patriarch Tomas Mallari III with an iron fist, and notable for its fear of technology, national health service, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.832 billion Filipinos are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Holy Cebu. The average income tax rate is 69.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Filipino economy, worth a remarkable 1,123 trillion Pesos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 164,412 Pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Stern tutting by international commentators has persuaded Holy Filipino Empire to disarm, the commercialisation of highly deadly weapons has instilled Holy Filipino Empire with a very polite populace, dynamite sales and concert audiences are booming, and Patriarch Tomas Mallari III's recent "I have a dream that we will fight them by raking muck on the beaches" speech seems a little derivative to many. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Holy Filipino Empire's national animal is the Filipino Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Holy Filipino Empire is ranked 30,476^th in the world and 22^nd in Union of Christian Nations for Most Developed, scoring 82.77 on the Human Development Index.
