Brunei is the Asian country I chose to reasearch.

History- On April 5th 1929 oil was found in Brunei. F.F. Marriot and T.G. Cochrane noticed the smell of oil close to the Seria river. They reported this and oil was later found in the area. In 1941 during World War II Brunei was invaded by the Japanese until June 10, 1945 when it was liberated by the Allied forces.  Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien III decided to find out what the people of Brunei wanted and form a constitution in July of 1953.

Economy- A very large portion of Brunei's economis wealth income comes from oil. Up to 167,000 barrels of oil are produced daily. Brunei is the 4th largest producer of oil in South-eaast Asia.

Geography- Its capital is Bandar Seri Begawan, and a few of its major cities are Jerudong, Pilau Ranggu, and Wasai Kandal. The highest mountain in Brumei is Bukit Pagon. A few rivers are the Brunei, Belait, and Tutong Rivers.

Vacation spots- The capital of Brunei is a  clean up to date city. A great place to visit would be to go to the Omar Ali Saifuddin Mosque. It is very beautiful and was built to be extravagant. The capital also has museums that display information on architecture of villages and technologies of people from the past.
