Singapore is an island country situated at the southern angle of the Malay Peninsula. It lies 137 kilometers north of the equator, south of the Malaysian state of Johor and north of Indonesia's Riau Islands. Singapore is one of three lasting true city-states in the world. It is the least nation in Southeast Asia. Singapore would turn into one of the most significant profitable and military centers of the British country, and the hub of British power in Southeast Asia. The city was occupied by the Japanese throughout World War II, which Winston Churchill called "Britain's maximum defeat". Singapore reverted to British rule at once postwar, in 1945. Singapore joined the United Nations on September 21 that same year. Singapore is the 6th wealthiest country in the world in terms of GDP per capita.

The name Singapore has been taken from the Malay, Singapore, which in turn comes from the Sanskrit words siṃha ("lion") and pura ("city"). According to the Malay Annals, this name was specified by a 14th century Sumatran prince named Sang. Between the 16th and early 19th centuries, Singapore Island was part of the Sultanate of Johor. The early beginning of town planning in regal Singapore came largely through a "divide and rule" structure where the diverse ethnic groups were developed in dissimilar parts of the South of the island. The Singapore River was mostly a commercial area that was conquered by traders and bankers of different ethnic groups with generally Chinese and Indian coolies working to load and unload goods from barge boats recognized locally as "bumboats". The European settlers, who were few then, established around Fort Canning Hill and further upstream from the Singapore River.

The total population development was 4.4% with Singapore inhabitants growth at 1.8%. The higher profit growth rate is basically from net colonization, but also growing life expectation.
