The Philippines is a conservative market republic located in the Philippine archipelago in Southeast Asia. It is a continuation of the Philippine nation of Terra Nova which was led by Yeti_MC. The current nation owner of the Philippines is _atan, and the current president of the Philippines is _atan.

 

It is to be noted that illidanlestat has changed his username to Cailles.  

The Philippines was 15 months old on Terra Nova at the time of Terra Aurora's launch. It was the successor to the fascist Philippines led by Skylordvoxaco from 2019-to 2021, which itself was the successor to the Luzon Empire lead by Shirazmates in 2018.

The Luzon Empire was the 5th nation created on EarthMC Terra Nova, being formed by the mod Shirazmates on November 5, 2018. Very little documentation of the Luzon Empire was taken, however, the only known footage of the nation was a single YouTube video taken by Shirazmates himself which showed some of the buildings in the nation's capital city, Manila.

=== The Fascist Philippines ===

In the middle of 2019, Shirazmates gave up his leadership of the Luzon Empire, which was renamed from the Luzon Empire to The Philippines at that point. Skylordvoxaco, or Skylord for short, transformed the nation into a self-proclaimed dictatorship with himself as a leader.  

Shortly after the First Philippine Civil War, the Philippines dropped from a population of 200 down to a much smaller 6. Skylordvoxaco was very secretive about his plans to citizens within his nation and was in total isolation on the global scene.

These players would all go on to make their towns within the Philippines, with Illidanlestat owning Dumaguete, Jayisa owning Naga, Yeti_MC, and Phantom1958 owning Greater Manila, PagongJuice04 and DTK69 owning Pagong City, and Vippyyy owning Palawan. These seven players would also all share the same disliking for Skylordvoxaco's dictatorship as SirInfinity.

On February 12, 2021, Illidanlestat announced the beginning of the Second Philippine Civil War. He was quickly backed by all but Skylordvoxaco, and, on the same day as the civil war started, eight of the nine Philippine towns seceded from the nation. They formed their nation, the Philippine Federal Republic, on February 21, 2021. The civil war lasted for four entire months, with the republic finally beating out the dictatorship after Skylordvoxaco's abdication and, days later, Skylord's ban. The Philippine nation was disbanded by Skylord's second in command, Ocurtamemes, and the Philippine Federal Republic renamed itself to the Philippines in-game shortly after, although the republic kept its longer name formally.  

The Philippine government on Terra Aurora was not carried over from Terra Nova immediately, and the nation was thus without a constitution for over a month. Up until the constitution passed, the Philippines resorted to an oligarchical system of government. Yeti_MC was chosen to be president of the young oligarchy, as he was the last president of Terra Nova.

Not including Philippine colonies, the Philippines started with a population of zero, as Terra Aurora had not yet launched by the start of the Yeti administration, reached a peak population of 73, and ended with a population of 73 as well.  

Not including Philippine colonies, The Philippines started with a land area of zero chunks, as Terra Aurora had not yet launched by the start of the Yeti administration, and ended with a land area of 737 chunks.

Originally, Lammchpx agreed with Yeti_MC to give Yeti the position of nation owner in return for the two racing for the town name Manila, but Lamm broke his side of the agreement, feeling he contributed too much to not own the nation. Lamm also promised Yeti that Luzon would be the capital city of the Philippines, but broke this promise as well, believing that the capital city should be the one that housed the nation's owner.  

In addition, Manila violated the border agreement with Luzon. The original southern border between Manila and Luzon followed a river connecting the Manila Bay and the Laguna de Bay, and chunk maps of the border were drawn accordingly. However, Lamm terraformed the river and altered its shape, claiming four chunks onto Luzon's side of the border. Manila also griefed the unclaimed concrete roads in Luzon every other day, and, at one point, started building structures on Luzon's land. Tensions between the two towns rose as a result, although tensions have waned recently.

[[File:Battle of supremes villes.png|thumb|326x326px|Lammchpx, Vippyyy, and Filolog beginning their invasion of Supremesvilles]]

On May 28, 2022, a group of three from Supremesvilles, a town in the Maluku province of real-life Indonesia, attacked the Filipino senator Filolog for visiting Supremesville. Filolog, wearing enchanted gear, safely escaped the ambush, but was chased by boat and on foot all the way to the Philippine Island of Negros. Filolog then fought all three attackers by himself, causing the attackers to retreat back to their base in Supremesvilles. Filolog called for backup in the Philippine nation-only chat, and three volunteers, Lammchpx, Vippyyy, and Yeti_MC, met up with Filolog to begin an invasion of Supremesvilles. The four landed on the island directly north of Supremesvilles, and, upon the three attackers seeing the four Filipinos all in maxed diamond and netherite gear, Supremesvilles surrendered to the Philippines. The Philippines annexed Supremesvilles minutes after the surrender, with Supremesvilles becoming the second largest city in the Philippines by population.  

On June 4, 2022, the British government created an oversees territory in Philippine soil, Port_Cooper. As a result, Yeti_MC left his town, Luzon, to create a Philippine colony in British soil, Port_Marcos. The name "Port Marcos" is in reference to the controversial Philippine president of the 20th century, Ferdinand Marcos Sr. As a result, Britain abandoned their oversees territory, trading their 16 chunk Port Cooper for the 2 chunk Port Marcos, effectively netting the Philippines 224 gold in the exchange and making the conflict a minor victory for the Philippines.

 

On June 12th 2022, First mayor of Manila and creator of the Philippines nation, Lamnn (formally lammchpx) of the LAMMP party, won the first General Election of Terra Aurora and swore in on June 19th, 2022 with his running mate, Vippyyy of the BP party. The Lamm administration is nationally lauded as the Golden Age of the Philippines (Yes, Lamm did write this), hailing the start and largest extent of the Philippine Colonial Empire, with New_Guinea, Indonesia, North_Korea and Winterhill in Antarctica becoming overseas territories, and final time the archipelago was under a single nation. All policies of the LAMMP party (Laban ng  Makabayang Masang Pilipino/Struggle of the Patriotic Filipino Masses) promised were achieved. On July 12, 2022, martial law was briefly declared by Vice-President Vippyyy for 2 minutes, granting themselves direct control over all government institutions and eliminating all rights to assembly, protest and right to bear arms, citing Yeti_MC as a threat to democracy. Lamnn was quick to relieve Vippyyy of his office and lift martial law. Other events occurring were the the Philippine-South Korean war over the status of North_Korea, and holder election.

On August 7 a new town called Banana was created by 2 people, Yki1025 and Amiibo3, they had created the town in what was once Shibatown, a town formerly owned by Navi1692 who had joined during the Premium release of Earthmc. They would later be joined by rikkyunboy. A few hours after its creation illidanlestat killed Yki1025 as he had refused to join the Philippines, this was made worse when both realized that they could not speak eachothers language, illidanlestat spoke English for EarthMC and Yki1025 and amiibo3 spoke Japanese. This caused the start of the Banana war where the next day Kuzok, mayor of Mindanao started voice chatting with illidanlestat, he had told him about the crisis and it was during that moment when Yki1025 and Amiibo3 were online (rikkyunboy had yet to join a few days later). They went to the town and fighting almost began as soon as one of them got out of the wilderness. They left a few hours later as they had barely gotten out of claims. This cycle continued until rikkyunboy joined, he got dragged into the fights. Kuzok and illidanlestat were in the vc of the Mindanao Discord and The 3 members of Banana Town  had some form of communication together (it is still unknown) as they had joined after fighting had ended for both amiibo3 and later on rikkyunboy. The town continued to expand, zRqsty and to some extent Lamnn, Silusit, toadness_ and to a further extent Neonownz and Sillyduggo had intervened. This is also when Keigh_joviYT joined, he had translated the signs along with Kuzok but unlike him he spoke proper Japanese but did not have a Japanese keyboard. He had said that "The talking was leading to nowhere" as Yki1025, Amiibo and rikkyunboy refused to give up their town. Keigh_joviYT would later join Manila as Lamm was online and in the voice chat during that time. Suddenly illidanlestat, Kuzok, Keigh_joviYT and zRqsty started building obsidian structures, it was later destroyed by Kuzok and toadness_ but it destroyed the morale causing negotations to open up. They asked to be moved to Vietnam as they "could not take it anymore" in a translation. It was accepted but they became inactive right after, 3 days later they all went online, this alerted illidanlestat leading to him going to the town once again, illidanlestat built a wall in a town chunk where everyone was allowed to build in, Yki1025 tried to destroy the wall but failed, when he had went out of claims to try to break the wall from the side he entered wilderness which alerted illidanlestat to start killing him. Yki1025 escaped to in real life what is Baroy, Lanao Del Norte which is northeast of Banana, this escalated as both Amiibo3 and rikkyunboy intervened in the fight leading to the Battle Of Baroy, the battle lasted for 10-25 minutes (1-2 Minecraft Days). The battle ended after Yki1025, Amiibo3 and rikkyunboy ran out of items to fight with. Around an hour later all of the members of Banana had gone to raid Mindanao. toadness alerted everyone and a force of 3 players was assembled to begin a counter attack these players were illidanlestat, Kuzok and toadness_. As zRqsty and Kuzok were getting on the server the counter attack was launched, illidanlestat arrived first and was bombarded as Yki1025, Amiibo3 and rikkyunboy charged at him. The Battle Of Pagadian-Labangan had begun, illidanlestat quickly charged back and called for help despite him taking only one hearts in damage and rikkyunboy already being severly damaged. A few minutes later Kuzok and toadness_ would arrive and were defeated in two minutes. zRqsty would arrive and quickly start killing anyone from Banana who went out of claims. YNMPylons and Keith_joviYT would be invited to the fight and accepted and both would join voice chat. YNMPylons arrived then Keith_joviYT would arrive a few minutes later as fighting would continue. Sillyduggo would provide some support in the war, helping Keith_joviYT in gearing up. The fighting would end after multiple suicide charges. Hunters from Memphis, United States would attempt to get to the town but fail and stop in Mindanao seeing that the battles had ended in dynmap. The suicide chargings would stop and the battle was won by the Philippines after almost 2 hours of fighting. Yki1025 would protest and attempt to negotiate with signs but fail. The war is still ongoing as of August 14 2022 but all of the battles were won by the Philippines. 

 

On February 14 2024, the recently-made Senator of Manila, well-respected and quite new player of _atan was inaugurated as the President of the Federal Republic of the Philippines with also, the quite new player and Senator of Angeles, Kyaiil as his Vice-President. _atan's original goals as President were to increase activity due to it plummeting significantly and also, bring back Manila to a state where it deserved to be considered the Capital of the Philippines and have older buildings demolished and replace them with newer and more modern buildings based on player's, such as Silusit, designs. However these promising goals were interrupted by the Invasion of Manila by the seceded state of Pilipinas.

 

'''''Filipino-Pilipinas Relations'''''

 

Due to rising tensions between the town of Mindanao and the cabinet of the PFR, Mindanao left the Federal Republic and joined the Empire of Indochina - one of the most powerful nations in Southeast Asia and to an extent in EMC as a whole. This pivotal event is considered to have started do to an amalgamation of many things with the most important reasons being: accusations of rigging votes in the General Elections, the apparent mishandling of the Philippine colony of Emirates by either Yeti_MC or SillyDuggo (depending on viewpoint), the Sulu-Mindanao Conflicts - which involved Sulu towns invading and claim blocking Mindanao affirmed territories/areas/towns on the Island of Mindanao and self benefit for Mindanao. Not long after joining Indochina and proclaiming themselves as the legitimate government of the Philippines, Pilipinas (Mindanao) declared independence and started the First Civil War in Nova Aurora but the Third Philippine Civil War in the nation's long history.

==Government ==

The Philippine constitution was passed unanimously on 28 May 2022 and entered effect on 12 June 2022.

The legislative branch is split into two houses, the senate, and the house of representatives.

The Senate is comprised of multiple senators, with each in-game city correlating to one senator. The governor of each city is generally the city's senator as well. However, this is not always the case, as the president and vice president cannot hold seats in the Senate whilst holding office. In the event that the president and/or vice president is the governor of a city, that city's senate seat is held by another town resident decided by the president and/or vice president. If there are no eligible citizens to take the position of senator in a town, that town has no representation in the senate.

The nation owner of the Philippines is _atan. The nation owners of the Philippines' two colonies, New_Guinea and Papua, are ShindoiASU, LuckyCharmers, and NonExpert, respectively.

 

In the PFR's almost two years of history in Aurora, the Philippines has had 8 different Presidents of the Federal Republic - they are:
