The Republic of Kiasu-ism is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Lord Vulcan with an even hand, and remarkable for its happy-go-lucky citizens. Its hard-nosed population of 12.39 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on the Environment, although Education and Law & Order are on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 74%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

Museums stand half-empty as all foreign exhibits are returned to their countries of origin, drug-related crimes carry the death penalty, all guns must be registered, and radio shows frequently feature people denouncing religion. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kiasu-ism's national animal is the Homo Kiasu, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Peanut.

Kiasu-ism is ranked 4th in the South Pacific and 128th in the world for Best Weather, with 1,050 Metres of Sunlight Above Expected.
