More Geography
Singapore's geography is wonderful to live in. We have urbanized land, along with forested areas to help grow wildlife.
People and Culture
Singapore is a wonderful country with approximetly 5.2 million people. We speak English, Mandarin Chinese, Malay, Tamil, and more. English is the main language of our country, but around 50% of people speak Mandarin at their homes. Malay is used in our national anthem, but not everyone speaks in Malay.
The three main religions of Singapore are Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism. The government emphasizes respect for other religions though to keep people from feeling discriminated. We believe tha we should have a democracy along with peace, justice, and equitity.
We hold several festivals a year including the Chinese New Year, Buddhist Vesak Day, Hindu Diwali, and more. We offer a diverse selection of food in Singapore with different meals all around the country prepared by different types of people. We have Malay ingrediants, Tamil food, and much more. We like to use creative writing in our culture also.

Our judicial power rests in the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court is made up of the High Court, and the Court of Appeal. We have abolished jury trials, and replaced them with the Criminal Procedure Code. We have a reputation for our fairness and impartiality in commercial laws. We are a popular place for arbitration trials in Southeast Asia. We were rated the best judicial system in all of Asia.
