The Sultanate of Brunei is located in Southeast Asia in the South China sea, along the northern coast of the island of Borneo. The government is a constitutional sultanate (monarchy) with a sultan as both chief of state and head of government. The sultan also serves as head of the Islamic faith. The royal family has ruled Brunei for over 600 years. This small country, with a population of about 430,000 people, has a very high standard of living due to rich energy resources. Citizens do not pay income taxes or capital gains tax and receive free medical care and education through the university level. The Brunei Dollar is pegged to the Singapore dollar and both currencies are legal tender in both Brunei and Singapore under a Currency Interchangeability Agreement. Although Malay is the official language, English is widely spoken.
From about the 15th to the 17th centuries, Brunei controlled large areas of northwest Borneo and the southern Philippines. After a period of internal conflict over royal succession, and as a result of European colonial expansion, Brunei became a British protectorate in 1888 and gained full independence in 1984.
In spite of strong international criticism, Brunei became the first East Asian country to adopt Islamic sharia law and penal code in 2014. In spite of a large non-Muslim population, the country is officially Muslim.
Travellers to Brunei can enjoy one of the many eco-tours, visit the Belalong National Park in the rainforest, river cruises and diving among shipwrecks. The country is home to many species of plants and animals, including the proboscis monkeys and other primates, macaques, kingfishers.
