The Republic of Kiasu-ism is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Mr Lee with a fair hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, compulsory military service, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 44.207 billion Kiasu-langs love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

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

The frighteningly efficient Kiasu-lang economy, worth an astonishing 20,938 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 473,655 Peanuts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The national guard is mobilized whenever a mother gets separated from her child at the mall, a new guerrilla marketing campaign for tap water involves government agents spraying random citizens with hose water, the acceptance of acupuncture and other alternative therapies has needled the scientific community, and the government is promoting multicultural values with the new 'Just Be Nice, OK?' initiative. 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 308,060th in the world and 4,159th in the South Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 0.48 Obesity Rate.
