Description
Brunei Darussalam, often simply referred to as Brunei, is a small yet affluent nation located on the island of Borneo in Southeast Asia. It is bordered by the South China Sea to the north and surrounded by the Malaysian state of Sarawak, making it a unique enclave. The capital city, Bandar Seri Begawan, is the center of government and culture, featuring striking architecture that showcases the nation’s rich Islamic heritage. With a land area of approximately 5,765 square kilometers and a population of around 450,000, Brunei is one of the least densely populated countries in the world.
The economy of Brunei is heavily reliant on oil and natural gas, with these resources contributing significantly to its wealth and economic stability. The country has one of the highest per capita incomes globally, thanks largely to the revenue generated from its petroleum industry. In line with its wealth, Brunei offers free healthcare and education to its citizens, along with subsidies for various goods and services. While the nation embraces modernization and development, it maintains a commitment to preserving its cultural heritage and Islamic traditions, which are deeply embedded in daily life and governance.
Brunei Darussalam is a monarchy, with Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah serving as both the head of state and the head of government. The Sultanate follows a system of absolute monarchy where decisions are made primarily by the Sultan, who has been a prominent figure in upholding the values of Brunei's Malay Muslim identity. The nation promotes a strict interpretation of Islam, which influences various aspects of life, including laws and customs. Despite its small size, Brunei is known for its stunning landscapes, including rainforests and coastal areas, and boasts a commitment to environmental conservation, making it a unique and captivating destination in Southeast Asia.
