Singapore

Singapore (シンガポール Shingapōru) is a supporting character in the series Hetalia World✰Stars.

Appearance
Singapore has maroon/dark brown hair with a white streak at the front of his fringe and has a small build. He wears a police uniform with a necktie, as well as a beret. He also has violet eyes which might be a reference to his national flower, the Vanda Miss Joaquim (Hybrid Orchid).

Like the other ASEAN nations, he has also been seen wearing more casual clothes such as t-shirts and sandals. During his commercial modelling, he wears fashionable outfits such as turtleneck sweaters, waiter suits and beach outfits like shorts and jackets.

Personality and Interests
Singapore is described as a nation with different cultures in each area due to his history as a port.

He is thought of as a fashionable person who loves to clean up but in reality he has a messy room.

He is unexpectedly strong minded. In a world survey, other nations saw him as gentle and polite, with a beautiful smile while Malaysia was curious about his personality towards other nations since he bares his teeth towards him.

Singapore is a genius nation who is good at creating sight-seeing attractions and is a gourmet who makes stylish dishes which showcases all the diverse cultures of Singapore. He himself declares that he may be small but his tastes are the size of the world. Singapore also owns cute merchandises such as Merlion plushies and notably owns a pair of pineapple tart glasses.

Since Singapore is a "fine" country, he will either fine you for breaking illegal laws or fine being safe in Singapore.

Manga
Singapore first appears in Chapter 371 of Hetalia: World Stars as an unnamed nation at the ASEAN meeting.

In his introduction chapter, chapter 374, Singapore is responsible for providing food at the ASEAN meeting.

Malaysia
Singapore lived in the same house as Malaysia, and Malaysia considers himself Singapore's big brother. However, Singapore does not want to call Malaysia 'big brother', he will pretend that Malaysia had mistaken him for another country when Malaysia refers to him as 'brother', as well as wear pineapple tart glasses to avoid being able to see a list of names (which contains 'big brother' in various languages) that Malaysia wants him to call him.

Singapore and Malaysia get quite heated up over their water bill, and he does not treat Malaysia that well as a result.
