The correct name for Brunei is:Brunei (Listeni/bruːˈnaɪ/, broo-NY or /bruːˈneɪ/ broo-NAY) officially the Nation of Brunei, the Abode of Peace.

Brunei is a sovereign state located on the north coast of the island of Borneo in Southeast Asia. It is completely surrounded by the state of Sarawak, Malaysia; and is also separated into two parts by the Sarawak district of Limbang. It is the only sovereign state completely on the island of Borneo; the remainder of the island's territory being divided between the nations of Malaysia and Indonesia.

In 1888, Brunei became a British protectorate and was assigned a British resident as colonial manager in 1906. After the Japanese occupation during World War II, in 1959, a new constitution was written. In 1962, a small armed rebellion against the monarchy was ended with the help of the British.
