1. WORLD LARGEST PALACE is
ISTANA NURUL IMAN in BRUNEI.
The sultan of Brunei with the largest palace in the world - with 1788 rooms - has flagged the beginning of the end of the good times, recently asking his loyal subjects to tighten their belts a notch.
Brunei's 370,000 citizens live a tax-free existence, with free health and education and heavily subsidised petrol prices - 51 Brunei cents a litre (42 cents). The country has more cars than people, even though 80 per cent is still covered by forest.
The Istana Nurul Iman palace is the official residence of the Sultan of Brunei, Hassanal Bolkiah. The palace is located on a leafy, riverside sprawl of hills on the banks of the Brunei River directly south of Brunei's capital, Bandar Seri Begawan, no more than a few miles outside the city center. Its name is taken from Arabic, meaning Palace of the Light of Faith. It is the largest residential palace in the world and the world's largest residence of any type. It was designed by Leandro V. Locsin, and built by the Filipino firm, Ayala International.
The Sultan of Brunei Sultan Hassan al Bolkiah is also the 2nd Richeast Royal in the world with wealth nearly equal to 6.7% of India foreign exchange Reserves that is $ 20 Billions :
