The Republic of Kiasu-ism

“Kiasi, Kiabor, and most importantly... Kiasu!”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of Kiasu-ism is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Mr Lee with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, national health service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 39.185 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 17,059 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 435,349 Peanuts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Mystics are claiming that a simultaneous rise in scepticism and education budgets is correlation rather than causation, the acceptance of acupuncture and other alternative therapies has needled the scientific community, worried-looking neonatal nurses are being deployed in place of SWAT teams during dangerous drug busts, and the new "Bloodbath" orange tree autonomously seeks and destroys independent orchards. 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 55^th in the world and 1^st in the South Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 98.67 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
