Is it really 1 in a million? There are other pseudo democracies that are doing well e.g. Liechtenstein

While it has problems, Liechtenstein is much closer to a normal democracy than Singapore (At least these days). Currently, four parties have seats, with no party having an absolute majority.
Didn’t the prince win a referendum to give him real monarchical powers though? The BBC summary from 2003 says “The people of Liechtenstein have voted to make their prince an absolute monarch again.” Although this description may be a bit exaggerated.

I assume the parent comment is in reference to the prince, not the parliament.
