Singapore (
i// or
//), officially the
Republic of Singapore, is a
sovereign city-state and
island country in
Southeast Asia. It lies
off the southern tip of the
Malay Peninsula and is 137 kilometres (85 mi)
north of the
equator. The country's
territory consists of the
lozenge-shaped main island, commonly referred to as
Singapore Island in English and
Pulau Ujong in Malay, and more than 60
significantly smaller
islets.
[8] Singapore is
separated from
Peninsular Malaysia by the
Straits of Johor to
the north and from
Indonesia's
Riau
Islands by the
Singapore Strait to the south. The country is
highly
urbanised, and little of the original vegetation
remains. The country's territory has consistently expanded through
land reclamation.
