= Brunei! = =Kaitlin Tillman = == = = = = __ Introduction: __  Brunei   is a small landlocked country located on the island of Borneo. It is surrounded on all sides but the north by Malaysia. To the north is the South China Sea. Rich deposits of oil have given Brunei one of Asia’s highest living standards. Brunei only gained its independence from Britain twenty-five years ago, but has been around much longer than that. Brunei became an independent sultanate in the 15th century and flourished between the 16th and 19th centuries. The same family has ruled for many centuries. It is one of the only countries in the world that is a sultanate today. Its current sultan is one of the richest men in the world. In this webquest, you will explore Brunei’s history and government.
