Malaysia (pronounced /m?'le???/ or /m?'le?zi?/) is a country in Southeast Asia that consists of thirteen states and three Federal Territories, with a total landmass of 329,845&_160;square kilometres (127,354&_160;sq&_160;mi). [5][6] The capital city is Kuala Lumpur, while Putrajaya is the seat of the federal government. The population stands at over 28 million inhabitants. [1] The country is separated into two regions, Peninsular Malaysia and Malaysian Borneo, by the South China Sea. [6] Malaysia borders Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore and Brunei. [6] The country is located near the equator and experiences a tropical climate. [6] Malaysia's head of state is the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, [7] an elected monarch, and the head of government is the Prime Minister. [8][9] The government is closely modeled after the Westminster parliamentary system. [10]Malaysia as a unified state did not exist until 1963. Previously, the United Kingdom had established influence in colonies in the territory from the late 18th century. The western half of modern Malaysia was composed of several separate kingdoms. This group of colonies was known as British Malaya until its dissolution in 1946, when it was reorganized as the Malayan Union. Due to widespread opposition, it was reorganized again as the Federation of Malaya in 1948 and later gained independence on 31 August 1957.[11] Singapore, Sarawak, British North Borneo and the Federation of Malaya merged to form Malaysia on 16 September 1963.[12] Tensions in the early years of the new union sparked an armed conflict with Indonesia, and the expulsion of Singapore on 9 August 1965.[13][14] During the late 20th century, this Southeast Asian nation experienced an economic boom and underwent rapid development. Bordering the Strait of Malacca, an important international shipping crossroad, international trade is integral to Malaysia's economy.[15] Manufacturing makes up a major sector of the country's economy.[16] Malaysia has a biodiverse range of flora and fauna, and is also considered one of the 17 megadiverse countries.[17] The name Malaysia was adopted in 1963 when the Federation of Malaya, Singapore, North Borneo and Sarawak formed a 14-state federation.[12] However the name itself had been vaguely used to refer to areas in Southeast Asia prior to that. A map published in 1914 in Chicago has the word Malaysia printed on it referring to certain territories within the Malay Archipelago.[18] Politicians in the Philippines once contemplated naming their state "Malaysia", but in 1963 Malaysia adopted the name first.[19] At the time of the 1963 federation, other names were considered among them was Langkasuka, after the historic kingdom located at the upper section of the Malay Peninsula in the first millennium of the common era.[20]
