Brunei has the second-highest Human Development Index among the Southeast Asia nations, after Singapore, and is classified as a "developed country". Forbes also ranks Brunei as the fifth-richest nation out of 182, based on its petroleum and natural gas fields. 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. Brunei gained its independence from the United Kingdom on 1 January 1984. Economic growth during the 1990s and 2000s, with the GDP increasing 56% from 1999 to 2008, transformed Brunei into an industrialised country. The IMF estimated, in 2011, that Brunei was one of two countries (the other being Libya) with a public debt at 0% of the national GDP.'' *Brunei has largest boundary with Malaysia which is approximately 381 km. *The largest export partner of Brunei is Japan. *The largest import partner of Brunei is Singapore. *There are 5 seaports in Brunei. !!Tourist Attraction [The Omar Ali Saifuddien mosque is a placid place for reflection in Bandar Seri Begawan.|http://travel.nationalgeographic.com/travel/countries/brunei-guide] !!National Facts * The famous dance of Brunei is Zapin. !References #Text marked as italic is taken fromhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brunei unter [CC|http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/at].
