Detailed Country Guide
Overview and identity
Brunei, officially listed here as Nation of Brunei, the Abode of Peace, is structured as a practical country reference guide for users searching country facts, maps, flags, codes, and daily-use data. The page should make Brunei, BN, BRN, the flag, the official name, and the country slug easy to confirm because users often land on country pages while checking identifiers for forms, travel, education, or data products. Brunei is grouped under Asia, more specifically South-Eastern Asia, with Asia shown as the continent context.
Geography and population scale
The country dataset records a population of 458,600 people and a land area of 5,765 square kilometers, which gives an approximate density of 80 people per square kilometer.

Capital and urban network
The capital information is recorded as Bandar Seri Begawan (primary). The largest city entries shown for this country are Bandar Seri Begawan, Seria, Tutong, Kampong Tunah Jambu and Kuala Belait. Including cities alongside country-level facts helps the guide answer searches such as largest cities in Brunei, capital of Brunei, and major urban areas in Brunei. This is useful because many users compare the official capital with the largest business, transport, or population centers.

The government type is listed as Unitary Islamic absolute monarchy. The classification fields mark sovereignty as yes, United Nations membership as yes, observer status as no, and disputed status as no. International memberships shown for this page include ASEAN, Commonwealth and United Nations. These fields support search intent around political status, country classification, and international organization membership.
Administrative formats and daily-use data

The week starts on monday; the academic year starts around Sep 1; the government fiscal year starts around Jan 1; and the personal fiscal year starts around Jan 1.
Currency, language, transport, and references
Currency data lists BND - Brunei dollar ($) and SGD - Singapore dollar ($), while language records include Malay. Vehicle data records the driving side as left and vehicle sign codes as BRU. Reference links should keep official, Wikipedia, Google Maps, and OpenStreetMap sources together when available so users can move from the structured country guide to map or source pages quickly. The country dataset does not include a recent Gini entry for this profile.
How to use this profile
This Brunei profile is designed to be scanned in layers: first the name, official name, flag, capital, population, area, and density; then identity, geography, cities, governance, memberships, formats, connectivity, currency, languages, transport, and references. That structure supports both human readers and product workflows where users need to verify a phone code, compare cities, inspect fiscal dates, check postal formats, review memberships, or open a map reference without searching across multiple pages.
