&#62; <i>You can also consider Singapore (which is basically Victorian, and basically paradise on earth for law-abiding people).</i><p>It's interesting that you need to preface that with 'law-abiding people.' What happens when you are accidentally on the other side of the law?<p>Update: Maybe I should be more specific in what I mean. In Thailand you aren't a 'law-abiding citizen' if you criticize the king. What similar laws does Singapore have? What happens is someone doesn't like me and decides to set me up for a crime I am no guilty of (e.g. deface some property and then claim that I did it)? The only problem that I have with harsh justice systems: What happens if you're an innocent person, but that system believes you to be guilty?
