The Grand Duchy of Isulas Firipinas is a very large, safe nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 129 million Firipinos have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 34.0%.

The Firipino economy, worth 6.60 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 51,195 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is illegal, teenage TV characters are played by thirty-year-olds by the end of the second season, the running costs of homeless shelters are so high that it would be cheaper to buy houses for the homeless, and there's no representation without taxation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Isulas Firipinas's national animal is the Philippine eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Isulas Firipinas is ranked 194,375^th in the world and 989^th in Europe for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 1,199.57 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
