Well, Singapore is a bit different than the US: It is very small, literally a city state, making any sort of administrative effort far easier. It is ruled very severely because Lee Kuan Yew felt multiculturalism and personal freedom were at odds. They have an average IQ almost a standard deviation higher than the US.
