BRUNEI

Sultanate of the northern part of the island of Borneo, an independent state since January 1, 1984.

The last strip of the vast English dominions of Southeast Asia, it had not followed the fate of the other two neighboring British possessions of the island of Borneo, Sarawak and Sabah, which in 1963 became part of the Federation of Greater Malaysia (Malaysia). Brunei instead maintained the status of protectorate of the United Kingdom until the end of 1963, benefiting from a wide internal autonomy, recognized by the British in 1959. Brunei’s independence and his opposition to joining the Federation of Malaysia can be explained taking into account the huge amount of natural resources available to the Bruneian territory, represented by rich oil fields (discovered in 1929 and already widely exploited in the 1950s), elite of the country. Decolonization, therefore, came twenty years later, following an agreement signed in 1978, which provided for the achievement of full sovereignty at the end of 1983.

The sultanate has an area of ​​5765 km ² and a population of 241,400 residents in 1988 (density 41.8 residents per km ²). Capital is Bandar Seri Begawan (55,000 residents In 1985), the name with which the ancient city of Brunei was renamed in the seventies, at the mouth of the homonymous river, on the coast of the South China Sea. The population is mainly made up of Malaysians (65%), whose language has been chosen as official, and Chinese (20%). The coexistence between these two ethnic groups is expected to be difficult: the Chinese, who have constituted, and still constitute, the most active and enterprising element, in the current structure do not see sufficient guarantees for their legal and economic position in the new state, to many of them have already chosen the path of emigration. The fundamental economic resource is represented by the extraction of hydrocarbons which ensures a huge production (oil, 6.9 million tons in 1987;³ in 1986), when compared with the small size of the country. The export of hydrocarbons and derivative products, destined for over 60% to the Japanese market, represents 98.5% of the value of exports. With a per capita income of $ 14,120 (1987), one of the highest in the world, Brunei belongs to the category of countries that the World Bank defines as high-income oil exporting countries, similar to the oil countries of the Arabian Gulf.
