The Scarlet Symphony of Singu1arity is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Leader with an iron fist, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, daily referendums, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 21.655 billion Singu1arityians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt government prioritizes Industry, although Defense, Law & Order, and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Singu1arity City. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Singu1arityian economy, worth an astonishing 10,003 trillion Really Round Pebbles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 461,953 Really Round Pebbles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The immigration office has an express line for people bringing cash in briefcases, old folks reminisce about the last time someone was acquitted of a crime, Leader reduces citizens' commute times by giving away their homes, and several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Singu1arity's national animal is the flying hippo, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Singu1arity is ranked 840th in the world and 31st in the Rejected Realms for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 19,540.64 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
