LAOS
Laos is an independent republic, and a landlocked nation in Southeast Asia, northeast of Thailand, west of Vietnam. It covers 236,800 square kilometers in the center of the Southeast Asian peninsula and it is surrounded by Myanmar (Burma), Cambodia, the People's Republic of China, Thailand, and Vietnam. About seventy percent of its geographic area is made up of mountain ranges, highlands, plateaux, and rivers cut through.
Its
location has often made it a buffer state between
more powerful neighboring states, as well as a crossroads for trade and
communication. Migration and international conflict have contributed to the
present ethnic composition of the country and to the geographic distribution of
its ethnic groups.
