The Scarlet Symphony of Singu1arity is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Leader with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, infamous sell-swords, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 21.59 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 frighteningly efficient Singu1arityian economy, worth a remarkable 9,943 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 460,542 Really Round Pebbles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Reporters who negatively comment on politicians' haircuts are cut from the news, talkative students are escorted from schools in second-hand prison buses, eerie glow-in-the-dark cornfields give farmlands an uncanny appearance, and people stand their fridges back-to-front to benefit from the free heating. 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 25,913th in the world and 659th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,899.45 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
