Apologies, that was a typo — Battle of Sirius was supposed to be in 2178.
Lore wise, Singapore was chosen to be the capital of the Federation because it is close to the equator, where a space elevator could be built. Additionally the city prospered in WWIII and remained a large financial centre on one of the most important shipping routes on Earth, making it a prime candidate for the Federation’s capital.
