Siam (Alternity)

Siam, officially the Republic of Siam, is a nation located in Southeast Asia. The nation shares borders with Burma to the west, Malaysia to the west-southwest, and Philippine Indochina to the east. Siam has been in contact with the western world for centuries, and is even older, with the first of four Siamese kingdoms having been established in 1238 AD. Located in a turbulent area of the world, Siam has been faced by war on its borders for the past half-century, with Japanese troops being granted passage through the nation in the late 1930s, the still-ongoing Burmese Civil War to the west, and the Second Indochina War to the east from 1965 to 1970 (which is about when the first Philippine platoons began infiltrating western Indochina).
