The Scarlet Symphony of Singu1arity is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Leader with an iron fist, and notable for its daily referendums, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 22.729 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, well-organized 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 10,414 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 458,211 Really Round Pebbles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Multiple polls have christened the newly-formed Filibuster Committee as "the least efficient government bureaucracy", reporters often lose their jobs over fact-checking errors, all government communication requires the imprimatur of the Truth Police, and the Snapgram channel "Embarrassing Baby Leader Pics" has made Leader's mom a celebrity. 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 128,181st in the world and 3,359th in the Rejected Realms for Most Average, scoring 38.91 on the Average Standardized Normality Scale.
