Singapore: A City-State, Not in a Province

Singapore is a Sovereign City-State

Singapore City is not located within a state or province. Singapore is the country.

  • It is one of only three city-states in the world (with Monaco and Vatican City).
  • It has no subnational divisions like states/provinces.
  • Administered by a single-tier government: the Government of Singapore.
  • Planning areas (e.g., Central, East, West, North, North-East) are for urban planning, not governance.

So, the answer: None. It is its own sovereign nation.
