Brunei Darussalam - The Abode of Peace

Brunei Darussalam is a small, vibrant, green and peaceful nation. Its peacefulness is a resonance of the name 'Darussalam' which is an Arabic literally meaning Abode of Peace. Conveniently located in the northern coast of the island of Borneo, the nation has enjoyed peaceful coexistence with is neighbors particular the Malaysian states of Sarawak and Sabah as well as the Indonesion state of Kalimantan.

Historically, Brunei has a considerably colorful history. It began as a vassal state of the Srivijayan empire starting its life with the name of Poni. It later became the vassal state of the Majapahit empire before the embracing of Islam sometime in the 15th century. At its full glory, Brunei had control which spanned regions of modern day Sarawak, Sabah as well as some parts of the Sulu achipelago to name a few. In its decline, the Sultanate had lost a lot of its controlled lands and it is left with what lands that the Sultanate spans at present. Before its independence in 1984, Brunei spent almost a hundred years as a British administered state.
