Detailed Country Guide
Overview and identity
Singapore, officially listed here as Republic of Singapore, is structured as a practical country reference guide for users searching country facts, maps, flags, codes, and daily-use data. The page should make Singapore, SG, SGP, the flag, the official name, and the country slug easy to confirm because users often land on country pages while checking identifiers for forms, travel, education, or data products. Singapore is grouped under Asia, more specifically South-Eastern Asia, with Asia shown as the continent context.
Geography and population scale
The country dataset records a population of 6,110,200 people and a land area of 710 square kilometers, which gives an approximate density of 8,606 people per square kilometer. The main coordinate reference is 1.36666666, 103.8, while the capital coordinate reference is 1.28, 103.85. Singapore has no land borders listed in the country data, and the landlocked value is recorded as no. These details help the page answer common searches around location, area, borders, map position, and population comparison.
Capital and urban network
The capital information is recorded as Singapore (primary). The largest city entries shown for this country are Singapore, Bedok New Town, Woodlands New Town, Jurong West and Yishun New Town. Including cities alongside country-level facts helps the guide answer searches such as largest cities in Singapore, capital of Singapore, and major urban areas in Singapore. This is useful because many users compare the official capital with the largest business, transport, or population centers.
Government, classification, and memberships
The government type is listed as Unitary parliamentary republic. The classification fields mark sovereignty as yes, United Nations membership as yes, observer status as no, and disputed status as no. International memberships shown for this page include ASEAN, Commonwealth and United Nations. These fields support search intent around political status, country classification, and international organization membership.
Administrative formats and daily-use data
Singapore uses calling code +65, postal format ######, and time zone data listed as UTC+08:00. The number format uses , as the thousands separator and . as the decimal separator. The week starts on monday; the academic year starts around Jan 1; the government fiscal year starts around Apr 1; and the personal fiscal year starts around Jan 1.
Currency, language, transport, and references
Currency data lists SGD - Singapore dollar ($), while language records include English, Chinese, Malay and Tamil. Vehicle data records the driving side as left and vehicle sign codes as SGP. Reference links should keep official, Wikipedia, Google Maps, and OpenStreetMap sources together when available so users can move from the structured country guide to map or source pages quickly. The country dataset does not include a recent Gini entry for this profile.
How to use this profile
This Singapore profile is designed to be scanned in layers: first the name, official name, flag, capital, population, area, and density; then identity, geography, cities, governance, memberships, formats, connectivity, currency, languages, transport, and references. That structure supports both human readers and product workflows where users need to verify a phone code, compare cities, inspect fiscal dates, check postal formats, review memberships, or open a map reference without searching across multiple pages.
