the Philippines
A group of countries ruled by one other country is an empire
The country directly on the other side of the world from the Philippines is Nigeria.
The Philippines is an independent country and is not owned by any other nation. It is a sovereign state located in Southeast Asia.
The Philippines is perhaps the most beautiful country in the world when it comes to natural resources. But, it is the most corrupt and most poorly managed place that is why it lags behind all its Asian neighbors when it comes to development. The Philippines has a total of 135 cities and 1,493 municipalities each ruled by a mayor. To sum it up, the Philippines has 1,628 small countries each ruled by a mayor who has all the power and the say no matter what happens! The mayor controls the police force and all his constituents. This is the very reason why the Philippines has remained to be poor because these mayors are corrupt!
