Burma (No China)

Burma, officially the Kingdom of Burma, is an absolute monarchy in Southeast Asia. It is bordered by India to the west, Tibet to the northwest, Lan Xang to the east, Daiviet to the northeast and Khmer to the southeast. Its capital is Sagaing, but the largest city is Rangoon. Burma is Asia's second largest economy and population.

History
Burma was ruled by many dynasties in the past, although the land of Burma was broken into many dynasties after the fall of the Pagan Empire until the Toungoo dynasties united the petty kingdoms and founded the Toungoo Empire.

Although the empire didn't last long, it was the biggest empire in all of Southeast Asia.

The succeeding dynasty, Konbaung, was as mighty and brutal as the Toungoo Empire. They successfully took control the kingdom Ayutthaya and even went to war with India, Tibet and Daiviet.

Burma was the only country in East Asia not to be colonized by European powers due to its large military, and even became a colonial power itself in World War II.

Government
Burma is a unitary state, an absolute monarchy, in which all legislative, executive, and judiciary power ultimately rests in the hands of the hereditary emperor. The current dynasty ruling is the Konbaung dynasty.

Foreign relations
Burma has diplomatic relations with nearly all independent nations and has been an active member of the UN since 1956.
