Mozambique is a Philippine overseas territory that controls the eastern land of real-life Mozambique. Its capital is Beira, and its leader is ThermoBomb. The Philippines shares ownership of Mozambique with Nubia. As of 2/16/22, Mozambique has three towns and a population of four.

The Republic of China, or ROC, is a Philippine overseas territory that controls land south and west of Nanking. The ROC is backed by the Philippines and Japan in a civil war against the People's Republic of China, or PRC. Its capital is Kalayaan_City and its leader is PagongJuice04. The Philippines shares ownership of the ROC with Japan. As of 3/15/22, the ROC has five towns and a population of nine.

Each city is allocated one representative per city barangay, regions of a city determined by nationwide censuses. Most representatives are also city barangay captains, but this is not always the case. The House is led by the Speaker of the House.

The Executive Branch is divided into eight positions; the president, the vice-president, five cabinet members, and the presidential advisor.

The president of the Philippines has the power to declare defensive wars and to enact Executive Orders. A defensive war may be declared by the president without a vote from Congress if the Philippines either is attacked by a foreign power or feels threatened by one. However, a vote is required by Congress to continue the war forty-eight hours after it is declared. Executive Orders can be used by the President to enact any new policy or law, and long as the Order does not contradict or change any part of the Constitution. The president is elected every two months by all Filipino citizens which are eligible to vote. To vote, citizens must have resided in a Philippine territory for at least one month before the election. Additionally, players from select allied nations may purchase dual-citizenship for roughly 32 gold, although the price may vary by small amounts, allowing players to vote in Philippine elections without needing to live in the nation itself.

The vice-president is elected by the president during election season. The vice-president may enact executive orders, but may not declare a defensive war without the president's permission.

The five cabinet members are selected by the president after winning the election. These positions are the secretary of finance, defense, foreign affairs,  external development, and immigration. These positions have the powers to control their given fields.

The judicial branch reviews and interprets the Philippine Constitution. The branch only contains a single position, the holder. The holder acts as a form of Supreme Court, making the final decision on matters brought to them. The holder is a permanent position unless they either are impeached by the Senate or resign. If the holder is removed by one of these methods, the Senate votes on a new holder.

While not in the Philippine constitution, the nation owner, or "king," of the Philippines is a permanent position. The role of the nation owner is to prevent the president from abusing their power, and to limit the power of the president. In all other aspects, the nation owner is treated the same as a normal citizen. The nation owner of the Philippines is YetI_MC.  

The Federation of the Philippine Republic has undergone great change since its inception Republic, the internal history of the nation will thus be divided into several sections, closely following the administrations of each president.

======First Philippine Civil War======

By the end of 2019, many Filipinos throughout the nation were tired of the failing state of the Philippines. Her emperor, Skylordvoxaco, was largely inactive, totalitarian, and ethnically non-Filipino. SirInfinity attempted to rebel from the monarchy in the First Filipino Civil War but was defeated after months of conflict against Skylordvoxaco. Following SirInfinity's defeat and, later on, his ban, the nation saw a rapid population decline, falling from her peak at nearly 200 citizens to a much smaller 6.

By the later part of the year, however, several new citizens began to join the Philippines. Illidanlestat was the first of these new players, creating Dumaguete on September 11. He was followed by Jayisa, who created Naga on October 12, YetI_MC, who created Greater_Manila on November 12, PagongJuice04, who created Pagong_City on January 27, and Vippyyy, who created Palawan_Central on ___.

The Philippine rebellion applied to join the Rajasa Pact, a South-East Asian alliance, on February 14 and was accepted unanimously four to zero. The Rajasa Pact quickly became a major part of the Philippines, being incorporated into the Philippine Constitution itself and backing the rebellion in the Second Philippine Civil War.

Yeti's presidency was not one without strife, however. The first of the term's two months were characterized by extreme political divide, turbulent foreign relations, and war. These problems can all be pinned to one governor's actions, Godlyeriss.

The Godlyeriss v. Illidanlestat court case resulted in the great schism of Congress. On February 18, Jayisa split away from the NCP to found his party, the Bagong Lipunan Party, or BLP, which roughly half the country joined. Politicians who once agreed on everything harmoniously now found themselves frequently on opposite sides of arguments, as topics such as taxation, private property, and diplomacy became the center of debates.

The entirety of the Philippines spent three full days mining gold underground to fund the creation of a nation. Notable contributors were President YetI_MC, Secretary of Finance DTK69, Vice-President PagongJuice04, and Holder Phantom1958, who all pooled together hundreds for the project. On February 21, 2021, the rebellion finally gathered the 1024 gold they needed, and YetI_MC officially founded the Philippine Federal Republic, named the Philippine_F.R. in-game. The capital of the nation was, and still is, Greater_Manila.

On February 27, Godlyeriss delivered an insult to the leader of Xia, who then declared war against the Philippine_F.R. A day later, the nations Asia, Nunavut, and Sui joined the war in support of Xia. Attempts to deescalate were made by Illidanlestat. A temporary armistice was held between the two sides to discuss peace. However, this peace talk soured seven days after they started. The representative from Xia quoted, "GG guys, y'all played yourself xP" before talks were shut down, and the war raged on.

Minister_Miong, senator of New_Masbate, was tired of the drama involving Godlyeriss and began plans to succeed from the Philippines to avoid the chaos. The Senate had enough with Godlyeriss as well, and, on March 1, almost unanimously voted to expel New_Muscat from the Philippines. However, this action came too late, as New_Masbate succeeded from the Philippines and formed its nation, the Holy Antarctic Christian Confederation, or H.A.C.C. Immediately following Eriss' removal, Eriss, despite being the one to send Xia an insult, aligned himself with Xia, making the Omani_Sultanate, the nation he formed from New_Muscat, a protectorate of Xia.

On March 3, Okinawa raided the Philippines. YetI_MC, assisted by two others, traveled to Okinawa to counterattack, but his two assistants were trapped and killed by lava in a small box in Okinawa. Yeti fought the leader of Okinawa, but no victor was declared in combat, and the leader of Okinawa stopped fighting and teleported elsewhere. The events on that day caused the Philippine_F.R. to declare war against Okinawa. In the weeks that followed, Okinawa disbanded itself and became a part of Japan, and the Philippine_F.R. declared total victory in the war.

With Godlyeriss' removal, Congress became less divided. The Kalayaan Coalition was renamed the BLP, and Congress became much more efficient. The Philippine_F.R. became increasingly stable as a result of this, and Dumaguete soon rejoined the Philippine_F.R.

On March 24, The Philippine_F.R. and monarchist Philippines agreed to an armistice, with the eventual goal of reuniting under one flag once again. Many in the republic planned to create a constitutional monarchy, with Skylordvoxaco acting as a powerless monarch and the democracy continuing unchanged. The walls of iron on the Greater_Manila - Manila border were removed, and a garden flourishing with flowers was planted in place of them.

Following the end of the Second Civil War and the removal of Godlyerris, the Philippine_F.R. entered a period of relative peace and prosperity, which lasted for the remaining three weeks of Yeti_MC's presidency, and continued for months to come. Yeti oversaw the creation of two new towns, Davao and Coron, alongside the rapid expansion of the already existing towns. The Philippine population doubled in this period from twenty to forty as well.

Although no exact date is attributed to these events, the Yeti administration saw the opening of ties between the Philippine_F.R. and Israel, and later between the Philippine_F.R. and Himyar. While there was no official alliance between the nations, the Philippine_F.R. maintained strong relations with Israel and Himyar, owning four or more shops in Himyar and doing business deals left and right with the Israeli Frede, bringing a large amount of income to the Filipinos who worked alongside Israel.

Despite joining the Rajasa Pact and creating the nation, the Yeti administration had a rough start, thanks to an abuse of power from his Secretary of Foreign Affairs, Godlyerris, who started wars and divided the country. However, as Godlyerris was removed from power and the nation as a whole, the Philippine_F.R. started what would soon become five months of continuous, exponential growth. The nation prospered in the final weeks of Yeti's administration, ending the grueling civil war and winning the independence of the nation, and winning a war against Godlyerris himself.

The Pagong administration added on to, and further catalyzed, the Philippine_F.R.'s success and growth started by the Yeti administration. To this day, the Pagong administration is credited as being the peak of the Philippine_F.R in many ways.

The peace treaty between the Philippine_F.R. and Omani_Sultanate (see above for more information) was signed around the time of PagongJuice04's inauguration. As such, the victory is attributed with both his and Yeti_MC's administrations. However, the peace that followed the end of the war would not last even an entire month, due to a new, quickly escalating, global conflict.

PagongJuice04's first term saw the fastest growth in both population and economy in the nation's history, and set the nation up for even more growth in the future months. He also improved foreign relations greatly with five major nations, and improved the Philippine_F.R.'s image across the globe. On top of that, he and YetI_MC lead the charge in both the Arabian and Chinese fronts of the Majapahit-Manado War.

The three main parties of the June 2021 election were the BLP, the NCP, and the BP (Banana Party). YetI_MC and PagongJuice04 competed for representative of the BLP in the BLP primary elections, and PagongJuice04 beat out YetI_MC by a single vote, picking YetI_MC as his vice president. The NCP was run by a real-life friend of SirInfinity, Marangal, with ___ as his vice president. The BP was a joke party run by Vippyyy, with Illidanlestat as his vice president. As the voter turnout reached a new record for the nation, the election commissioner, Jayisa, determined the BLP had a large enough majority over the other parties to end the election early, as it was statistically impossible for any other party to make a comeback. The BLP won with a 75% majority, followed by the NCP with 25% and the BP with 0%. In total, twelve Filipino citizens voted in the June election.

The seventh Philippine election held an extra amount of significance when compared to the previous elections, as it was held on the one-year anniversary of the Second Philippine Civil War. The two parties of the February 2022 election were the BLP and the PPP. YetI_MC represented the BLP, and, by a game of luck, picked PagongJuice04 over Vippyyy as vice president. Yoda2301 represented the PPP party, and picked Djole07 as his vice president. No controversy soured the seventh Philippine election, as tensions between the two parties reached an all-time low. Out of the eighteen people who voted, the BLP won the election with a 72.2% majority, and the PPP received 27.8% of the vote.

===Liberal Party (DEFUNCT)===

While the Liberal Party was the political party to be created it quickly died down and lost support, while 2 attempts were made to revitalize the party both attempts failed as their leaders went inactive or abandoned the project altogether. Currently, there is no politician, in the Senate, the House, no Supreme Court Justice, nor Cabinet Member who affiliates with the Liberal Party, the Party also has no registered voters leaving its future bleak and unpromising.

The PPP is a center-left party founded by Yoda2301. Its primary goals are:

The party was founded right before the August presidential election. It won its first election, winning 55,2% of the votes. The PPP has been in a state of rivalry with the BLP over the dual citizenship crisis. At one point, the fighting got to a point where people were mentioning the idea of ‘civil war’. This crisis prompted the president, Yoda2301 to concede under certain terms limiting the power of dual citizens to keep it fair. Things are calm now and the two parties are striving to keep it that way.
