Located south of the nuclear disaster that occurred in Kagoshima, the country experienced an irony all its own. For a country that was known for encouraging its people to live in other countries, it now became a host to unprecedented millions of displaced refugees from other countries directly affected by the war.

Unfortunately, the nuclear attacks have slowed the Philippine economy to a crawl, as its main sources of imports - China, USA, and Japan - were effectively crippled. Adding to that, the corruption that was rampant in the government and the growing infection of anarchy spreading across fifty percent of the urban sectors of Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao brought the country a few inches short of collapse.

The only thing that prevented total collapse was the intervention of the Moro National Liberation Front. What would have been the perfect opportunity to accelerate the secession of Mindanao from the rest of the Philippines was abandoned in favor of the greater need to stabilize the entire country in these dark times.

Storming into Malacañang Palace, the seat of the Philippine government, their leader offered a surprised President offers of assistance. With power-hungry political dynasties and coup threats at the heels of the newly-elected President, he had little choice but to accept.

The Church, meanwhile, begun redoubling their efforts to restore morale and spiritual unity among the flock. However, with the unrelenting decay of society and the widespread anarchy spreading across both urban and rural lands, they have also begun to form a militant arm to defend their missions of mercy from opportunistic hands.

Formerly flowing out of Philippine labs and farms into the barns of other Asian countries, the Super-rice developed by NRA is now the Philippines' only source of money and food both. Cultivated in very large amounts by many determined hands, it might be the world's only hope.
