About Brunei
Brunei is a small, oil-rich sultanate tucked into the northern coast of Borneo in Southeast Asia, surrounded on land by Malaysia. Its capital, Bandar Seri Begawan, gleams with gilded mosques and is home to Kampong Ayer, an enormous village built on stilts over the water. Ruled by one of the world's oldest royal lines, Brunei pairs deep Islamic tradition with a rainforest-covered interior wilderness.
- Brunei's territory is split into two separate pieces, divided by the Malaysian district of Limbang.
- The country's full name, Brunei Darussalam, means 'Brunei, Abode of Peace,' with Darussalam drawn from the Arabic dar as-salam.
- Brunei's royal line is traditionally dated to 1368, giving it more than six centuries on the throne and a place among the world's oldest monarchies.
