Take a look at Singapore. Who knows how well it would scale though.

RE: Take a look at Singapore.

You don’t mind living in a country with these laws:

* It is against the law to not flush the toilet after using it. Again, that’s common sense, but in Singapore you might be getting a large fine for that, too, as the police officers randomly check on public checkrooms.

* You Litter You Pay-Big Time. A litter law dating from 1968 is the country’s way of keeping clean. Disregard the law, drop trash on the ground in this Southeast Asian city, and you’ll pay $1,000.

* Don’t walk around your house naked. In Singapore, pornography is illegal, and anything to do with it may result in imprisonment or hefty fines. Along the same lines, the country thinks that nudity has to do with pornography, too, so better watch out carefully when you dress for bed — someone might see you. Also, make sure you don’t hand anyone a Playboy magazine. It’s the same.

* Connecting on unsecured Wi-Fi hotspots means hacking. Need just “some” Internet to read mail or reserve some train tickets? Better go to an Internet cafe shop rather than logging in on an unsecured network. In Singapore it’s called hacking and you could end up in jail, or if lucky you’ll be paying a pretty huge fine.

* Homosexual acts may lead to imprisonment. Kissing between men, for example, is illegal.

* Racial harmony is carefully promoted. Racial slurs, such as those you might hear in football chants could actually wind you up in jail

* Singapore does have the death sentence and it is used for narcotics offences
