位於東南亞中南半島最南端，扼守麻六甲海峽最南端出口。1956年本來屬於馬來西亞的一州，在1965年被馬來西亞國會投票驅逐後獨立建國。憑藉地理優勢，成為亞洲的金融、服務、航運中心，所以無論是人均GDP還是人類發展指數，皆連年蟬聯亞洲第一。

國內的人民行動黨一直是新加坡唯一的執政黨，新聞自由和民主指數並不像經濟表現那樣亮眼。國內有大量持工作簽證的國際移工，僅38%居民為永久公民。採中立外交，總理李顯龍於2021年表示不會在中美對抗中選邊站。

Year Founded: 1965

Sitting on the southernmost tip of Indochina Peninsula in Southeast Asia, Singapore guards the southernmost exit of the Malacca Strait. It was originally a state of Malaysia in 1956 and became an independent state after being expelled by the Malaysian Parliament in a vote in 1965. 

With its geographical advantages, Singapore has become the finance, service, and shipping center of Asia. The state has been ranked No.1 in Asia for many consecutive years be it GDP per capita or Human Development Index. 

The People’s Action Party has been the only ruling party in Singapore, so it does not excel in the Press Freedom Index and Democracy Index like it does in the economy. There are a large number of international migrant workers holding work visas in Singapore, and only 38% of the residents are permanent citizens. 

The state adopts neutrality as a principle of its foreign policy. Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said in 2021 that Singapore would not choose sides in the China-U.S. confrontation.
