| Brunei |
| Introduction |
| This tiny oil-rich Islamic sultanate lying on the northwest coast of Borneo is known chiefly for the astounding wealth of its Sultan, its tax-free, subsidised society, and the fact that (statistically at least) its 280,000 people enjoy one of the highest per capita incomes on earth. Despite the ostentatious modern public buildings in the capital, most of the country remains undeveloped, unexploited and untouched by the outside world. |
| Brunei
is a little slice of Islamic heaven. Alcohol is virtually unobtainable,
there's no nightlife to speak of, and the political culture encourages
quiet acquiescence to the edicts of the sultan. The folk of Brunei are
amply rewarded for their conformist ways with free healthcare, free
education, free sporting centres, cheap loans and high, tax-free wages.
