History
The earliest known inhabitants of Philo can be traced to the 20th Century BCE. It has been theorized that Proto-Philos migrated to the island from the south to both escape neighboring warring tribes and to search for better agricultural lands.
The Proto-Philos practiced a unique form of Paganism, though the religion became obsolete by the 5th century CE. They also made great strides in science, medicine, agriculture, philosophy, architecture, infrastructure and politics. For thousands of years, the Philos lived in relative peace, in systems of municipal democracy.
Starting in 2001,
Government

This has been the classical government of Philopoiis, albeit in the past at a much more local level.
Although this "town hall" system forms a working government, there also exists a traditional representitive government which serves mostly to unify the provinces and handling with foreign entities.

- Administrative Courts (law dealing with how government is run)
Cases begin in their respective court. Each individual court is headed by a Judge. On average one premier court exists in each department.

The second level of courts hears and tries cases being appealed. Unlike the first level, the courts are not divided. There is one appalate court for each province of philopolis. An appalate court is headed by a president.
