Brunei Darussalam, (pronounced /bru:’naɪ/ in English) officially the State of Brunei, Abode of Peace (Malay: Negara Brunei Darussalam), is a country located on the north coast of the island of Borneo, in Southeast Asia. Apart from its coastline with the South China Sea it is completely surrounded by the state of Sarawak, Malaysia, and in fact it is separated into two parts by Limbang, which is part of Sarawak.

A tiny country with a small population, Brunei was the only Malay state in 1963 to choose to remain a British dependency rather than join the Malaysian Federation.

Brunei, the remnant of a very powerful sultanate, regained its independence from the United Kingdom on 1 January 1984 and, thanks to its large reserves of oil and gas, now has one of the highest standards of living in the world.

The total population of Brunei is 383,000, of which around 46,000 live in the capital Bandar Seri Begawan. Other major towns are the port town of Muara, the oil producing town of Seria and its neighboring town, Kuala Belait.Islam is the official religion of Brunei, and the sultan is the head of the religion in the country. Other faiths practised are Buddhism (mainly by the Chinese), Christianity, and primarily in isolated and very small communities, indigenous religions.
