Kiasu-ism

AnimalHomo Kiasu

The Republic of Kiasu-ism is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Mr Lee with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, pith helmet sales, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, cheerful population of 38.883 billion Kiasu-langs are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Kiasu-lang economy, worth an astonishing 16,829 trillion Peanuts a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 432,834 Peanuts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms, Occam's razor has sliced to pieces any childhood belief in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy, elementary school students are required to master Bach's Chaconne in D before graduation, and new pilots are regularly reminded that they are more expendable than their planes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Kiasu-ism's national animal is the Homo Kiasu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kiasu-ism is ranked 422nd in the world and 13th in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 206.82 law-abiding acts per hour.
