Brunei

A small oil sultanate on Borneo: a calm routine, free healthcare for citizens, English in daily use and almost no street crime. Personal income is not taxed and food and fuel are cheap, but the choice of housing, goods and things to do is very narrow. The tropics without seasons: hot and humid all year, with rain possible in any month. People come here almost solely for work, and local rules of daily life, from alcohol to dress, take separate getting used to.
