The United Federation of Philosopy is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by President Philpot with an even hand, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, national health service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, humorless population of 17.798 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, socially-minded 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 98.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Philosopian economy, worth a remarkable 4,215 trillion Props a year, is 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 236,861 Props, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Confused-looking pigeons slide gently off frictionless window ledges, anyone who so much as frowns risks being referred to a mental health unit, board shorts have replaced board rooms, and the "fire department" is often called to remove offensive religious texts. 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 287,991^st in the world and 11,033^rd in Osiris for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 3,552.92 Standard Monetary Units.
