Singapore is actually a microstate and the smallest nation in Southeast Asia but it is larger then Monaco and Vatican City, the only other surviving sovereign city states.
In fact, this is what Arab efforts should be focused on, to stop the "exportation of the Revolution" to Yemen, after Tehran succeeded in exporting it to Lebanon - where Hezbollah's microstate is established within the state while being independent from it, with its own military, finance and social institutions - and to Gaza - where "Hamas's microstate" is preventing the Palestinians from uniting their ranks.
It has no substantial tourist attractions, yet in the past 44 years of its independence, this highly cosmopolitan and diverse microstate has become the fifth wealthiest economy in the world in terms of GDP per capita.
