The Empire of Soviet Philippines is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Chancellor Vincent von Greif with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, zero percent divorce rate, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.027 billion Sorvietians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Great Gotem. The average income tax rate is 41.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Soviet Philippinesian economy, worth 159 trillion Soldias a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 78,536 Soldias, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Bands of paramedics walk the streets looking for suspicious medical activity, explosive diarrhoea is not just a colorful phrase, t-bagging dead Bigtopians merits a medal of honor, and credit scores fluctuate wildly with every change of government. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Soviet Philippines's national animal is the Sorvietian Dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Soviet Orthodoxy.

Soviet Philippines is ranked 46,529^th in the world and 2,000^th in Balder for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 21,411.54 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
