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 museums and concert halls, digital currency, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, cheerful population of 34.919 billion Kiasu-langs have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

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 13,952 trillion Peanuts a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 399,573 Peanuts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The installation of street lights across remote goat tracks has left citizens bemused, children searching for cat videos must watch dogs in equal proportion, the government has begun breaking all large businesses into thousands of mom-and-pop general stores, and thieves find battery shops juicier targets than banks. 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 207^th in the world and 7^th in the South Pacific for Smartest Citizens, with 364.62 quips per hour.
