Cambodia

Cambodia is a country located in Southeast Asia, bordered by Thailand to the west and northwest, Laos to the northeast, Vietnam to the east and southeast, and the Gulf of Thailand to the southwest. The official language is Khmer and the currency is the Cambodian riel. The population is approximately 16 million people. Cambodia is a constitutional monarchy with a developing economy. The capital and largest city is Phnom Penh.

Cambodia has a rich cultural heritage, with a long history dating back to the ancient Khmer Empire. The country is known for its historic temples, particularly the Angkor Wat, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The economy of Cambodia is largely based on agriculture and tourism, with a rapidly growing garment industry.

Cambodia has a complex political history, including a civil war and the brutal rule of the Khmer Rouge regime in the 1970s, which resulted in the deaths of an estimated 1.5 million people. In recent years, the country has made progress in promoting stability and economic growth, but it still faces challenges such as corruption, poverty, and limited access to education and healthcare.

Cambodia is also facing the effects of climate change, particularly water scarcity, coastal erosion, and increased frequency of natural disasters. The government is working to address these issues through environmental protection and sustainable development policies, but there is still much work to be done to improve the lives of the people of Cambodia....
