What the numbers say
Area: 744.3 square kilometres. Population: about 6.11 million in the 2025 estimate. Islands: more than 60, large and small. Coastline: 193 kilometres. One World Heritage site: Singapore Botanic Gardens since 2015. The figures look small beside large countries, yet density is high, and this is a full country with borders, a port and a passport — not a “neighbourhood” of another city.
