Borneo
This term refers specifically to the geographical landmass of the island. Because it is a proper noun designating a unique entity, it is used exclusively in the singular. It does not function as a common noun and therefore cannot be pluralized or used to describe a category of things.
In a geopolitical context, the word encompasses three distinct national territories. Usage typically focuses on the island's biodiversity, particularly its tropical rainforests and endemic wildlife, rather than its political divisions.
