Located in Southeast Asia, the Republic of Singapore is a city-state linked to the Malaysian mainland by a 2/3 mile (1.1 kilometers) long causeway that carries a road and railway. Known as the Lion City, Singapore is a modern metropolis with one of the world’s busiest ports. At the same time, the small tropical island has retained many elements of its colonial past. The multiethnic nature of the population provides a rich and varied cultural, religious, and linguistic heritage. Singapore is separated from the mainland of Malaysia by the Johore Strait to the north. Across the Strait of Malacca and the Singapore Strait to the west and south of the island lies Indonesia. The total land area is about 239 square miles (618 square kilometers), which includes some 57 nearby islets. The island is 26 miles (42 kilometers) at its broadest point from east to west and 14 miles (23 kilometers) from north to south.
