The population stands at over 28 million.[5] The country isseparated by the South China Sea into two regions, Peninsular Malaysia and Malaysian Borneo(also known as East Malaysia).[9] Malaysia borders Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, and Brunei.[9]It is near the equator and has a tropical climate.[9] Malaysia's head of state is the Yang di-PertuanAgong,[10] an elected monarch, and the head of government is the Prime Minister.[11][12] Thegovernment is closely modelled on the Westminster parliamentary system.[13]Malaysia as a unified state did not exist until 1963. Previously, the United Kingdom had establishedinfluence in colonies in the territory from the late 18th century. The western half of modernMalaysia was composed of several separate kingdoms. This group of colonies was known asBritish Malaya until its dissolution in 1946, when it was reorganized as the Malayan Union. Due towidespread opposition, it was reorganized again as the Federation of Malaya in 1948 and latergained independence on 31 August 1957.[14] Singapore, Sarawak, British North Borneo, and theFederation of Malaya merged to form Malaysia on 16 September 1963.[15] Tensions in the earlyyears of the new union sparked an armed conflict with Indonesia, and the expulsion of Singaporeon 9 August 1965.[16][17]During the late 20th century, Malaysia experienced an economic boom and underwent rapiddevelopment. It borders the Strait of Malacca, an important international shipping crossroad, andinternational trade is integral to its economy.[18] Manufacturing makes up a major sector of thecountry's economy.[19] Malaysia has a biodiverse range of flora and fauna, and is also consideredone of the 17 megadiverse countries.[20]
