Government
Singapore is effectively a one-party state, ruled by the People's Action Party, who have a fairly annoying tendency of disliking free speech, and commies. They also seem to dislike the internet.[1] However, they have taken a dramatic step towards free speech by telling protesters that they can protest in some designated park.[2] They also like killing and censoring people, and hate drugs. Oh, and they also believe in family values "Asian Values".[3]
Economy
Singapore is a thriving modern economy. It also happens to import practically everything, including water. There are plans to import enlightenment from Tibet next year. There are no current plans to import souls.
Good things
Singapore is a great place for tourists, containing many interesting things such as the Night Safari, where you go around looking at nocturnal animals, and Snow City, where you can play around with artificial snow. Next to it is Sentosa Island, where you can go to a beach, see a huge statue of the Merlion (half fish, half lion), and also watch people surf around on pink dolphins. However, it can get boring after a few weeks.[4]
In addition, Singapore is too obsessed with cleanliness. Mundane and harmless actions such as littering, spitting, jaywalking, chewing gum, and even forgetting to flush the toilet are illegal. Mostly, the punishment for such actions is a heavy fine, which is why many locals call Singapore "fine city." While many consider these laws to be harsh, at least the city is very environmentally clean, giving the city its reputation as the "world's cleanest city."
