Singapurs

Singapurs is not a standard geopolitical term. In most references, the intended subject is Singapore, the sovereign city-state and island country in Southeast Asia. The usual name of the country is Singapore; Singapurs may appear as an erroneous plural or in fictional or informal uses, but it is not the official designation.

It comprises the main island and several smaller islets, with a land area of about 728 square kilometers. The country operates as a highly urbanized city-state with a major international port.

Key sectors include finance and business services, manufacturing (electronics, chemicals), logistics, and tourism.

The population is about 5.9 million, with a multi-ethnic mix of Chinese, Malay, Indian, and other communities. Official languages are English, Malay, Mandarin, and Tamil; Singaporean culture reflects this diversity.
