The Republic of Kiasu-ism is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Lord Vulcan with an even hand, and notable for its happy-go-lucky citizens. Its hard-nosed population of 12.994 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with the Environment, although Education and Law & Order are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 85%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

The government has begun breaking all large businesses into thousands of mom-and-pop general stores, the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, reporters often lose their jobs over fact-checking errors, and the nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms. 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 125th in the South Pacific and 6,350th in the world for Largest Public Sector, scoring 23 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
