The United Federation of Philosopy is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by President Philpot with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, national health service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, humorless population of 23.137 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 6,187 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 267,420 Props, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Students and teachers are regularly stopped and searched for symbols of religious affiliation before class, any secret that gets off someone's chest is promptly replaced, ignorance is considered a politically desirable quality, and the nation locks people up and tells them they're mad for compassion's sake. 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 1,451^st in the world and 53^rd in Osiris for Least Corrupt Governments, with 96.93 percentage of bribes refused.
