The Kingdom of Cambodia (Khmer: pronounced Preăh
Réachéanachâkr
Kâmpŭchea) is a country
in Southeast Asia with a population of more than 13 million. Cambodia
is the successor state of the once powerful Khmer Empire, which
ruled most of the Indochinese Peninsula between the 11th and 14th
centuries.
A citizen of
Cambodia is usually identified as "Cambodian".
"Khmer", which strictly only refers to ethnic Khmers,
is also used. Most Cambodians are Theravada Buddhists of Khmer extraction,
but the country also has a substantial number of predominantly Muslim
Cham, as well as small hill tribes.
The country
shares a border with Thailand to its west and north, with Laos to
its northeast, and with Vietnam to its east. In the south it faces
the Gulf of Thailand. The geography of Cambodia
is dominated by the Mekong river (colloquial Khmer: Tonle Thom or
"the great river") and the Tonle Sap ("the fresh
water river"), an important source of fish.
