Here is my participating nation. But before that, Alexa play Burgundian Lullaby by AdmiralAkbar of TNO: Last Day Of Europe fame.

Manila State

Capital - Manila

Population - 2.5 million

LORE With the pre-war nation in the South-East Asian nation known as the Philippines has collapsed immediately as a result of Olongapo City and Baguio City getting nuked despite the nation itself formally lacked its strategic positions, huge influx of refugees coming from devastated nations and renewed ethnic, religious and political conflicts have suddenly appeared out of nowhere. As a result, the Philippines got heavily balkanized in its former provinces into city states, tribal groups and warlords all around the country and the remnant of the Philippine government now controls its last territory in the form of the nation's former capital, Manila (or Metro Manila in official term).

But alas, the rule wasn't very popular of the city inhabitants and the refugees as they see them as "incompetent, corrupt and cowardly government who did nothing to save the fledgling nation". Unfortunately for city residents and the refugees, there are no solid group to try an open rebellion and their dream of overhtrowing the "dead Filipino government" languished into near-obscurity as the city state suffered an huge crisis of overpopulation, lack of resources, constant crime rate and many more that plaguing the city state and a total decrease of the city's population from 7 million into 2.5 million people as a result of these problems.

But then, a miracle came to save the fledgling city state and its decreasing population and other assortment of refugees. A mysterious man wearing a ragged Filipino national costume Barong Tagalog, suddenly appeared in the city and began preaching to population of "liberation" by the great-god that he named Jose Rizal, who the man - or rather prophet - calls him "the one who will save the future of our Filipino people, and this world." This preaching activities become the word of the law by the city's population who are tired of the corrupt leadership in this city-state. Soon enough, they launched an successful rebellion that overthrows the last leaders of the already dead nation of The Philippines.

After that revolt, the mysterious man/prophet - now called himself as the Ang Presidente - have sworned-in the empty seat in the Malacañang Palace and began its transformation from democratic entity into an Ultra Fascist entity. Then began a campaign of conquest that added the former provinces of Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, Bulacan and Pampanga as part of new territory that leaves hundreds of thousands dead as a result of constant 'human-wave' tactics. Then the Ang Presidente suddenly dies, the state is under economic recession as a result of the conquests of surrounding provinces, and a moderate leader have chosen as the new leader of the Manila State that promises people to look the future of their state first before "we can reclaim the past nations total failures and turn it into an successful one"...
