Singapore is an independent city-state in southeastern Asia, consisting of one major island — the Singapore Island — and more than 50 small islands, located off the southern tip of Malay. The city of Singapore, the capital of the country, is at the southeastern end of the Singapore Island; it is one of the most important cities and commercial centers of Southeast Asia. The total area of the republic is 640 sq. km.

The Parliament is the law-making body with its 81 members popularly.
