5 Small
Countries With Too Many People
Popcornews December 28,2014
The sovereign state of Singapore is an island country on the south
east side of Asia. Apart from the main island, the state also
includes 60 small islets.
As of 2014, Singapore’s population was estimated at
nearly 5.5 million people. Considering that the total area is about
700 square km and the density is 8,000 people per square km, it’s
safe to say that Singapore is a crowded country with too many
people living in it.
There have been many talks about Singapore’s number
of residents, and it looks like the nation is thinking of
organizing an anti-government manifestation in an attempt to boost
the island’s population with 30% by 2030. Ironically, Singapore is
already overpopulated; however, it does have some pretty tough
laws, laws that control society and limit its prosperity
levels.
Currently, Singapore features an incredibly
developed economic system based on extended trading. Together with
Taiwan, Hong Kong and South Korea, the nation is one of the 4 Asian
Tigers. In the eyes of the residents, the Singaporean economy is
innovative, competitive, business-friendly, and ultimately,
free.
According to the Index of Economic Freedom, as of
2013 Singapore was ranked 2nd freest economy types in
the whole world, after Hong Kong.
