The Republic of Kiasu-ism is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Lord Vulcan with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its hard-nosed population of 13.018 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, socially-minded 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 85%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

The space program has been scrapped in order to focus on more terrestrial pursuits, a National Academy regulates grammar and usage, people are now classified as male, female, or genderqueer, and businesses have become paranoid as waves of lawsuits sweep the nation. 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 4,177th in the South Pacific and 85,112th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -3 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
