Richest countries by capita

US is richest. However, Norway is the richest for that size group (3 M) and some smaller oil countries like Brunei is richer.

Norway is rich due to the rich off-shore oil field and the fish export (second in the world after China but far, far #1 per capita wise). It is smart not to boast except in the Olympics to prevent jealousy and invasion.

Singapore is rich due to the port location and hard-working citizens (most are Chinese). When the hard-working folks land to a land of coconuts (i.e. resources), they are natural to be rich as indicated in my coconut theory.

Singapore has too many surveillance cameras so they do not need policeman. However, I saw several of them debating what to do with a car illegally parked that prevent our tour bus from making a turn. They did not want to upset a big shot by towing it away.

Make sure you flush the toilet as some one is watching you and sending you a ticket if you do not. When you're fat, you're forced to some physical camp.

I do not know the recent big constructions like casinos and theme park in Singapore will be profitable or not. With the tidy population, it has to depend on tourists to pay the investment back.
