And it is incredibly prosperous. The IMF ranks it as the second highest GDP/capita country in the world. I rank it first because the only one ahead, Liechtenstein, is a medium-sized town of 40K, not a real country (similarly for sub-one million population jurisdictions like Luxembourg, Macao or Brunei). Singapore may be small at 6.1 million population, but it is bigger than Ireland or Norway, other famously high-GDP countries. Its 2025 GDP/capita is estimated at $157K, which is 74% higher than the US. (Though US shouldn’t feel too bad. It is clearly harder to have a very high GDP/capita if you are a large country (+25M population). The US GDP/capita is 22% higher than the next biggest consequential country, Germany.)
