'''Borneo''' is a large island of south east [[Asia]], lying to the east of the Malaysian [[peninsula]]. It is bounded by the [[South China Sea]], the Java Sea, the Macassar Strait, the Celebes Sea and the Sulu Sea. With a land area of 287,863 square miles (745,561 sq km) it is the third largest island in the world (after [[Greenland]] and [[New Guinea]]).
Politically, Borneo is divided between three nations. By far the largest part of the island forms part of [[Indonesia]]. Parts of the north of the island, known as Sarawak and Sabah, belong to [[Malaysia]]. Small enclaves within the Malaysian section form the independent and oil-rich Sultanate of [[Brunei]].
