Flag of Singapore
The flag of Singapore is composed of two equal horizontal bands of red and white. On the hoist side of the red band is a fly-side facing white crescent which partially encloses five small five-pointed white stars arranged in the shape of a pentagon.
Where it is
Singapore is grouped in South-Eastern Asia, within Roam’s Asia region. No land neighbours are listed in the source. The source classifies it as not landlocked.
Singapore has a recorded area of 710 square kilometres. Among the 11 countries assigned to South-Eastern Asia in this dataset, it ranks 11 by area, from largest to smallest. Brunei is immediately above it in that ordering, at 5,765 km². This comparison uses the source’s area figures and subregions, not a ranking of all territories.
The marker shows the atlas location. Small countries may be too small for an outline at this scale. Map boundaries are illustrative.
People, languages and currency
The World Bank records 6,111,175 people for Singapore in 2025. This is the latest non-empty annual observation in Roam’s committed 2020–2025 download, rather than a live population counter. Dividing that population by the source area gives approximately 8,607 people per square kilometre. This calculated average does not describe how evenly people are distributed.
The language entries in the source are English, Chinese, Malay, and Tamil. They describe the dataset’s listed languages, not every language spoken by residents. The currency listed for this date is Singapore Dollar (SGD). Currency assignments are selected from Unicode CLDR’s date ranges for 23 October 2026; the three-letter codes identify currencies, not countries.
