Overview

โ€บ

A small, wealthy, oil-rich sultanate on the island of Borneo with strict Islamic laws. It offers a very high standard of living, with modern infrastructure and a clean, safe environment. However, the social environment is conservative, with strict laws on alcohol and a limited nightlife. For nomads, the internet is fast and reliable, but the quiet and slow-paced lifestyle may not appeal to everyone. It is a tax-free environment, but the high cost of living and limited tourist attractions make it a niche destination for most remote workers.
