Singapore

Singapore-style fried rice.

A tiny country about half the size of Los Angeles, Singapore has achieved an economic miracle by rapidly transforming itself within 30 years from a post-war third-world country to a global financial center. An island previously colonized by the British for four decades and briefly occupied by Japan during WWII, Singapore is one of the least corrupt countries in the world. Nowadays, Singaporean are mostly Chinese, Malay, and Indian.
