*The reason it took me so long to update this list with the new SE Asian characters was because I was stuck on Singapore's name.  With Singapore being such a melting pot, I wasn't sure how to approach his name--there's a large influx of Chinese/Chinese immigrants (and I think Tan is the most common surname in Singapore), so they should be represented, but that wasn't always the case in Singapore's history.  Forget what I wrote before.  I decided to just give him three names, so he has names for different time periods.  In modern times, he'd probably use an English name (as many Singaporeans do).
