As far as the founding of the People's Republic of China is concerned, the Philippines can move eastward to separate China from Japan, or it can destroy China first and then Japan to fight the Soviet Union. India and Borneo are also rich in rare resources and oil, and they can also go west to win Africa and rob the British, French and Italian colonies.
The south is also close to Australia. As an island country, as long as there is a fleet, it is the safest and most fun. If you want to build a country and don't want to get rid of the powers, the Philippines should be the most advantageous place in geography. It is also good for Europe to fight Sweden, destroy Norway and Finland and become a big country.
