Singapore
Singapore gained independence as a country in 1965. Prior, it spent time governed by Malaysia, Japan during an occupation in World War II, and a large amount of time under British colonial rule. Since 1965, the PAP (People’s Action Party) has remained the single-party power in government. Today, the country is home to some of the most advanced, entrepreneurial, and green cities in the world.
