Singapore is an island country and city-state in Asia. Singapore's four official languages are English, Chinese, Malay and Tamil. The current population of Singapore is around 5.45 million.

Physical features consist of low-lying land and a central plateau. Fresh water is scarce in Singapore, so the people rely on reservoirs scattered throughout the island.

The climate in Singapore is equatorial, meaning it is hot, humid, and rainy all year round. The urban heat island effect is present on this island because the whole island is a city.

Singapore is bordered by Malaysia (N, E, S), the South China Sea (N, E, W) including the Johor Strait, the Strait of Malacca (NE), and the Singapore strait (S).

In 1819, a British trading post was established in Singapore, originating the founding of a British colony.
