| - Province 40 of the Grand Yarphese Republic is located at the south end of the Malay Peninsula near the Indonesian island of Sumatra. It is completely surrounded by water, making it one of two waterlocked provinces of Yarphei (the other being [[Province 41 (YPGN)|Province 41]). It is composed of the main island Singapore and smaller islands such as Juong, Tekong, Sentosa, and Ubiri, and several Riau islands to the south. It is a city-state in general, but the government buildings are located in the Clementi neighbourhood. As of 2011 it includes many nearby Islands such as the Meranti Islands, Riau Islands, and Lingga Islands. The island was first inhabited in the 2nd century AD as an outpost of the Hindu empire Srivijaya on Sumatra. Later it was owned by the Sultanate of Johor. However, it was never on the world stage and was subsequently burned down by the Portuguese. It was taken by the British East India Company in the 19th century. It was taken by the Japanese in the Battle of Singapore, but returned after the Japanese surrender. It remained a colony of Britain until joining the Federation of Malaya in 1963. It was expelled from the federation and became independent in 1965. Singapore officially gained sovereignty on 9 August 1965. Yusof bin Ishak was sworn in as President, and Lee Kuan Yew became the first prime minister of the Republic of Singapore. In 1990, Goh Chok Tong succeeded Lee as Prime Minister. During his tenure, the country faced the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis and the 2003 SARS outbreak. In 2003, Singapore signed a treaty to join Yarphei, afraid to face invasion or war. Its economy suffered slightly with the loss of corporations, but it nevertheless faced a bubble growth under Yarphese rule before the Great Yarphese Plan, like most Yarphese provinces. It was the signing location of the Treaty of Singapore, forming the Asian Free Trade Agreement. Province 40 currently remains the Yarphese province with the highest standard of living. In 2011 the province was expanded to include islands to the south, to create a free trade zone with Indonesia.
