Laos, also known as the Lao People's Democratic Republic, is a country whose history is full of turmoil. From the early ages to the not so past, war and political unrest have been common. Laos only has one legal political party, making it a communist state. The government strictly censors the information that is available to its citizens. There are few publications allowed, all which the government controls. Internet cafes are becoming more available in the city areas however; strict government controls are in place.
This country is the only "landlocked country in Southeast Asia"(www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0107702.html 2009), every part of the country is bordered by another country. In the northern region Laos is mountainous and hilly, while the southern and eastern regions are dense forests.
Laos has many different ethnicities and a few different religions within it borders. The majority of the citizens are ethnic Lao. The few percentages include individuals from Hmong, Yoa, Doa and Shan ethnicities. The main religion in Laos in Buddhist, few are Christian.
