Singapore, Island nation in Southeast Asia.
Singapore extends across one main island and 62 smaller ones, positioned at the southern edge of the Malay Peninsula near the equator.
The British East India Company established Singapore as a trading post in 1819, marking the start of its transformation into an international commercial center.
The population combines Chinese, Malay, and Indian communities, each maintaining their traditions while creating a unified national identity through shared celebrations.
The Mass Rapid Transit system connects all districts with 203 kilometers of rail lines and 134 stations operating from early morning until midnight.
The nation dedicates 47 percent of its land to green spaces, including vertical gardens on skyscrapers and the 101-hectare Gardens by the Bay.
