Singapore is the same size as Norway, Finland, and Denmark. They're all small.

I have no clue.




Maybe in population, but Singapore is not even 0.2% of the size of Norway...


Singapore is not the same size as the Nordic countries.

Norway: 148,746 sq mi

Finland: 130,596 sq mi

Denmark: 16,562 sq mi

Singapore: 274 sq mi


But compare their populations:

Norway: 5,033,675

Finland: 5,421,827

Denmark: 5,580,413

Singapore: 5,312,400


I was referring to geographical size. And as I said, while I do not have scientific evidence, I have a hunch that managing same size of population over a vastly smaller area should be easier.
