## History

### Origin

The Philippines were discovered to Europe by Ferdinand Magellan in 1521, who claimed the islands for Spain before being killed at the Battle of Mactan. The first Spanish colony was established at Cebu in 1565, and Spanish rule was legitimized and officially established over the entire Philippines by 1599. The Philippines were governed as part of the Viceroy of New Spain. Various indigenous revolts began against Spanish rule in the period of colonization, and a more widespread independence movement for the islands began to grow through the late 19th century.

### Revolution

A large revolution against Spanish control began in 1896 when an anti-colonial secret society, the Katipunan, was discovered and reorganized into a provisional revolutionary government. Several provinces revolted from Spanish rule, and a truce was signed to lessen hostilities in 1897, with several revolutionaries going into exile. The sinking of the USS Maine in Havana led to the United States of America declaring war on Spain in 1898. During the war, the American Asiatic squadron defeated the Spanish Pacific Fleet at the Battle of Manila Bay, cutting off the Spanish from reinforcements and effectively seizing control of Manila for the United States. The revolutionary Emilio Aguinaldo returned from exile and unofficially allied with the Americans. Revolutionary attacks on the Spanish resumed with great effect, leaving almost all of the Philippines effectively under revolutionary control, with the exception of Manila. Aguinaldo issued a declaration of independence in June 1898, declaring The Republic of the Philippines free of Spanish rule, although this declaration was not recognized by either Spain or the United States.

The 1898 Treaty of Paris that brought an end to the Spanish-American war included the ceding of the Philippines to the United States. An uneasy peace briefly stayed in the Philippines, with American forces in Manila surrounded by Philippine revolutionaries. In 1899, fighting broke out in Manila, leading the Philippine-American war. The war was costly in Philippine lives, and came to an end in 1902 with an American victory, although unofficial resistance would continue for over a decade.

### Japanese Annexation

Following the Philippine-American war, the Philippines became a US territory. Nominally, the US-run government was to prepare the Philippines for independence, with many government officials viewing their mission as one of tutelage to prepare the islands to be a democratic, US-style republic. Sadly this was total failure and a waste of money for America who did nothing more than try to control Pan-Asian demands for representation and the Sultanate of Sulu worried about it's sovereignty. America after the failure and Pan-Asian Filipino pressure gave the Islands up to Japan who put the Pan Asian Filipinos in power with the Military.

## Government

The Government of the Philippines is a Far Right leaning Pan Asian Nationalist Military Junta which is led by a Paramount Chairman who has 3 deputies called Daimyos who are Pan Asianist Politicians and Military Officers. The Paramount Chairman and the Daimyos are elected into power by the Council of Warlords (which consists of the most powerful Military Politicians in the Philippines) who are elected into their positions by the Nationalist Military Party of the Philippines who are elected into their positions by the Military. The common people have no say in the elections for they must worship the Military as the great warriors who defend them from Protestant Imperialists and Communists.

## Military

The Military is a powerful institution of the Government for they run the Government and they are the only people allowed to elect their officials and are the only people allowed to represent themselves due to their loyalty to the Japanese Empire.

### Army

The Army consists of 120 Infantry Divisions, 110 Calvary Units, 100 Artillery Pieces, 90 Gun Cars and 80 Tanks. The 120 Infantry Divisions of the Philippines are trained by the Imperial Japanese Army.

### Navy

The Navy consists of 100 Submarines, 90 Destroyers, 80 Battleships and 12 Aircraft Carriers all used by Naval Brigades trained by the Imperial Japanese Navy. The Naval Officers are known to commit Piracy on people who are disloyal to the Government and the Master State.

### Air Force

The Air Force consists of 120 Warplanes piloted by 120 Pilots trained by the Imperial Japanese Air Force. These Pilots like the rest of the Military also have a say in the Government.
