About Singapore
Island city-state at the southern tip of the Malay peninsula, on the strait between the Indian and Pacific oceans. With almost no domestic market, it built its economy on connecting other people's trade and traffic.
Population about 5,077,000 at the game's 2010 snapshot.
Singapore is a business market: its traffic comes from companies and connections rather than from holidays, which rewards frequency over seat count.
