The City-State of The Republic of Singapore is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 12.5 billion Singaporeans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Welfare, although Education, Healthcare, and Defense are also considered important, while Spirituality and Environment receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 8.1%.

The Singaporean economy, worth 544 trillion Singapore dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 43,541 Singapore dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. The Republic of Singapore's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Republic of Singapore is ranked 239,573^rd in the world and 29^th in The League of Nations for Lowest Crime Rates, with 54.64 law-abiding acts per hour.
