"Singapore, officially the Republic of Singapore, is a sovereign city-state and island country in Southeast Asia. The islands were settled in the second century AD and subsequently belonged to a series of local empires.
Modern Singapore was founded in 1819 by Sir Stamford Raffles as a trading post of the East India Company with permission from the Johor Sultanate. The British obtained sovereignty over the island in 1824, and Singapore became one of the British Straits Settlements in 1826."
