  • Bangsamoro shares no land borders with any country. However, it shares maritime borders with the Philippines to the north - bordering the Visayas islands separated by the Bohol Sea, and to the west, sharing a maritime border with Palawan separated by the Sulu Sea. Malaysia lies to the southeast, also sharing a maritime border between the Sulu Archipelago and the Malaysian state of Sabah. Other neighbors include Brunei, as well as Indonesia and the North Moluccas, where it is separated by the Celebes Sea. Bangsamoro has its origins in the various Islamic kingdoms and states in the area, which from 1521 to 1898, fought wars with the Spanish Empire that colonized the Philippine archipelago. From 1898 to 1945, they fought the Japanese Empire and from 1945 to 1946, the Philippines, until the Philippine Partition gave way to their independence. Some states, particularly the Sultanate of Sulu lasted, and existed as a protectorate of the Spanish Empire, and later a protectorate of the United States. Bangsamoro is multi-ethnic, although mostly homogeneous with all of its people belonging to the Austronesian race. The constitution declares Islam as the state religion, although a very limited religious freedom is allowed for non-Muslims. The head of state is the sultan, who is an elected monarch and the head of government is the prime minister. It is a member of the Global Alliance of Islamic Nations, the United Nations, ASEAN, APEC and the Non-Aligned Movement.
