Definition: The relentless, borderline-psychotic national hustle of transforming your resource-poor, war-torn/backwater fishing island into a gleaming global tech & economic powerhouse within like, one boomer’s lifetime. Requires maxing out your location bonus points, investing hard in your citizen’s brain stats, and having leadership so forward-thinking they probably see next Tuesday. Bonus points for doing this while constantly side-eyeing a giant, aggressive neighbor who claims you’re theirs. See: Singapore, Taiwan, South Korea. “Went from third-world dump to producing 75% of the world’s chips? That’s the Asian Tiger Grindset – no oil, just pure brainpower, strategic hustle, and dodging existential threats daily.”
