It's crazy how successful Singapore is given it's small land mass and multiethnic demographic. I used to say Singapore is Vancouver, BC that made it or the Utopia that South Koreans dreamed of becoming in the mid 90s.

Korea also done good, Park Chung Hee managed to whip up the South Korean economy using the Japanese system but later became more authoritarian as the economy expanded, people started demanding more freedom. Unfortunately, he was whacked by the Korean CIA.....I don't know how obvious they need to make it, hiding in plain sight....

Chinese Taipei falls behind Korea by nearly 70% of China's income...I'm shocked I always thought Taiwan was richer because I remember in high school in Canada, they would drive BMWs and street race with modded import cars....although nothing compared to mainlainders with Lambos and Ferraris

As predicted Russia is right down there with China, but thanks to oil and arms exports they have a recession proof residual income and nukes for a rainy day.
