Singapore, a sovereign island country, is called the Republic of Singapore. It is located in maritime Southeast Asia and bordered by the Strait of Malacca, the South China Sea, the Singapore Strait, and the Straits of Johor. Singapore’s geography consists of 63 satellite islands and islets, one mainland and an outlying islet.

Singapore gained their independence from the United Kingdom in 1963.

Singapore’s population density is the third highest in the world. Its diverse cultural identity is why it has four official languages. They are Malay, English, Tamil and Mandarin.

Singapore is one of the most developed countries in the world. It is the 11th country on the UN Human Development Index. The country is renowned as a tax haven, so it’s little wonder why it has the world’s second-highest GDP per capita (PPP).

It is also a powerhouse in the aviation, maritime shipping and financial world. The commonwealth member country is also home to Southeast Asia’s largest port, which happens to be one of the busiest ports in the world.
