The Philippines (or Philippines), officially the Republic of the Philippines, is a republic in Southeast Asia. The archipelago consists of 7641 islands, the largest of which are Luzon and Mindanao. These two islands together cover around two thirds of the country's surface area, which, with approximately 300,000 km², is more than 7 times as large as the Netherlands and more than 9 times as large as Belgium. At the last official census in 2015, the Philippines had nearly 101 million inhabitants. Due to the location of the Philippines near the Pacific Ring of Fire and the equator, the Philippines are sensitive to earthquakes and typhoons. However, this location also provides relatively many natural resources and a large biodiversity. The Philippines was a Spanish colony for over 300 years, until the archipelago came into American hands at the end of the Spanish-American War in 1898. Although the Filipino revolutionary movement led by Emilio Aguinaldo proclaimed independence on June 12, 1898, it would take until July 4, 1946 before it was actually ready. The Philippines have many Western characteristics due to the long-term colonization by Spain and the United States. For example, a large part of the population is Catholic, it is the largest Catholic country in the world after Brazil and Mexico
