After a long history of colonization and occupation, Brunei has managed to maintain a significant amount of its culture after deciding to remain independent from Malaysia. Being the smallest country on Borneo, residents of Brunei enjoy some of the highest standards of living in the world. This was in part due to the discovery of large oil reserves, which makes up the bulk of Brunei’s economy. More recently, Brunei has been attempting to diversify its economy, by marketing itself as a financial center and opening numerous tourist facilities.
