Philippine Empire (Alternity)

The Philippine Empire (Indonesian: Kerajaan Filipina; Korean: 필리핀 제국/Pillipin Jegug; Russian: Филиппинская империя/Filippinskaya Imperiya) is an imperial monarchy in Southeast Asia that has existed since the coup d'état of Nísqua Saval on May 17, 1928, and is considered the only true modern example of an empire, imperial governmental and military structure. It governs territory from New Guinea and Borneo to Formosa, and also controls the East Asia Region of Indochina, which it has ruled since defeating the United States, China, and their allies in the Vietnam War, which ended in 1976 with the fall of Saigon to Philippine forces. It shares borders with Indonesia to the south, Siam and Myanmar to the west, Papua New Guinea to the east, and China to the north-northwest, as well as maritime borders with Malaysia, Singapore, and West Australia. The current emperor is Komay Saval, who has ruled since 1993, when his father, Jérazo Saval, stepped down on charges of assaulting the Imperial Defense Minister's wife. With over 244 million living within its boundaries as of 1997, the Empire contains the 5th-largest population in the world after India, China, the United States, and the Coastal African Republic. Since the Treaty of Singapore in June 1979, the Empire has established slow trade and economic relations with the outside world, attempting to attract an influx of stability and mitigate hostility, especially from the United States, China, and Korea, all of whom have suffered great loss at the hands of Imperial troops in the past forty years.
