"Brunei has a small well-to-do economy that encompasses a mixture of foreign and domestic entrepreneurship, government regulation, welfare measures, and village tradition. Crude oil and natural gas production account for just over half of GDP and more than 90% of exports.

The government provides for all medical services and free education through the university level and subsidizes rice and housing." CIA World Fact Book
