Laos
From Gothpoodle
- Population: 17 million
- Aspects: Repressive, Poor, Third Wave
The Lao People’s Democratic Republic was a target of Chinese invasion during the Pacific War, suffering severe damage to its industrial infrastructure. Since the war, recovery has been very slow, as once-crucial trade links to nearby Thailand and Vietnam have been almost entirely shut down. Laos is poor and very isolated from world affairs.
