ADMINISTRATIVE DIVISIONS OF BRUNEI
Brunei is administratively divided into 4 districts; that of Belait constitutes almost half of the territory, while the district of Brunei-Muara, where the capital is also located, is by far the most populated, with about 70% of the entire population of the country.More than half of the population lives in the capital Bandar Seri Begawan, with all the other towns much smaller and located along the coast, as the rest of the territory is mainly occupied by dense rainforest.
