	The economy (from Brunei) -- Encyclopædia Britannica
		Brunei's economy is almost totally dependent on the exploitation of its vast reserves of petroleum and natural gas.
		Oil and gas revenues have allowed the state to give its citizens one of the highest per capita incomes in Asia, but it also has made the country dependent on a single commodity that is subject to market fluctuations.
		In 2002 Brunei recovered somewhat from the adverse international publicity and the multibillion-dollar financial loss that had been brought about by the 1998 collapse of the Amedeo Development Corp. Prince Jeffri Bolkiah, the sultan's youngest brother, had been sued by the state in 2001 for squandering public funds on Amedeo projects.
