Foundation and Singapore

Have you ever read the famous sci fi book Foundation? It's a lot like the story of Singapore:

A great empire that spans the entire galaxy has collapsed and as a result there's chaos. So a bunch of really smart people move to this teeny tiny planet on the edge of the galaxy that has zero natural resources and is surrounded by belligerent barbarians. So they have no choice but to use their discipline and education and wits and technology and commerce to scratch together an existence and defend themselves with diplomacy. And it ends up being the most advanced utopian place in the galaxy.
