With a population of over 14.8 million, Cambodia is the
68th most populous country in the world. The official religion is
Theravada Buddhism, which is practiced by approximately 95% of the Cambodian population. The country's minority groups include
Vietnamese,
Chinese,
Chams and 30
hill tribes.
[6] The capital and largest city is
Phnom Penh, the political, economic, and cultural center of Cambodia. The kingdom is a
constitutional monarchywith
Norodom Sihamoni, a
monarch chosen by the
Royal Throne Council, as head of state. The head of government is
Hun Sen, who is currently the
longest serving leader in South East Asia and has ruled Cambodia for over 25 years.
Cambodia's ancient name is "Kambuja" (
Sanskrit: कंबुज)
[7]. In 802 AD,
Jayavarman II declared himself king marking the beginning of the
Khmer Empire which flourished for over 600 years and allowing successive kings to dominate much of Southeast Asia and accumulate immense power and wealth. The
Indianized kingdom built monumental temples such as
Angkor Wat and facilitated the spread of first
Hinduism, then Buddhism to much of Southeast Asia. After the fall of
Angkor to
Ayutthaya in the 15th century, Cambodia was ruled as a vassal between its neighbors until it was colonized by the French in the mid-19th century. Cambodia gained independence in 1953.
The
Vietnam War extended into Cambodia, giving rise to the
Khmer Rouge, which took Phnom Penh in 1975. Cambodia reemerged several years later within a
socialistic sphere of influence as the
People's Republic of Kampuchea until 1993. After years of isolation, the war-ravaged nation was reunited under the monarchy in 1993 and has seen rapid progress in the economic and
human resource areas while rebuilding from decades of civil war. Cambodia has had one of the best economic records in Asia, with economic growth averaging 6 percent for the last 10 years. Strong textiles, agriculture, construction, garments, and tourism sectors led to foreign investments and international trade.
[8] In 2005, oil and natural gas deposits were found beneath Cambodia's territorial waters, and once commercial extraction begins in 2013, the oil revenues could profoundly affect Cambodia's economy.
