	White Rajahs of Sarawak (Brooke Raj)
		Charles set up a proper government, extended the territory to its present boundaries, reduced inter-tribal warfare and headhunting in the interior, expanded trade and commerce, balanced the budget for the first time, and left many fine buildings.
		These buildings include the Astana (1870), the white, thatched palace which was Charles Brooke's residence; Fort Magherita (1879) which protected Kuching from marauding pirates and named after the Rajah's wife; and the Sarawak Museum (1891) which houses the ethnographic and natural history collections of Sarawak.
		The legacy left by a hundred years of Brookes rule still stands—architecture; the administrative heritage with the District Office, where District Officers are in-charge, Residents of Divisions with Residents in-charge, and "out-stations" beyond HQ in Kuching; and an end to cannibalism, head hunting, piracy, and inter-village violence.

		Brooke spoke on March 14, 1989 to the Wanganui branch of the Royal Forest and Bird Protection Society.
		It is, I think, undeniable that the Brooke rajahs came to represent a unifying point of authority which this diverse population were prepared to accept and this was a prime reason why Brooke rule was able to continue for so long with such relatively little internal strife.
		In a no less prophetic tone, Charles wrote and issued in 1907 a pamphlet in which he expressed a fierce dislike of the type of imperialisms dominant at the beginning of the twentieth century and be deplored the impression that Britain governed her colonies by power, not by what he called “friendly intercourse of feeling.”

		Rajah Charles (a notable eccentric who, after losing an eye in a riding accident, replaced it with a false one destined for a stuffed albatross) consolidated the state and extended it into the interior.
		From the first Rajah Vyner showed himself shy of ceremony; in his first speech to his people he encouraged them to call on him to air their problems, and he declined to allow his daughters to be addressed as "princess", preferring the more personal datang (your ladyship).
		Rajah Vyner himself found the local women hard to resist, and he had a string of mistresses, several of whom came to live with the family, to be looked on by the Brooke daughters as elder sisters.
