      @@edison7300037 to be honest, Cambodia is a typical weak southasian nation with polit. Decisions between US-backed military, instable "democraty"/"royality" and communism. every election is a fight between the religious, monarchic, the US supported and the vietnam communistic party. every election is followed by rebelish actions against the fraud victory by the loser.
      the economical situation is not really different by the political influence and rise, because the anti-communistic trade embargos were droped since ~1995. the difference is the distributation of money. the monarchic faction would give more money to sacral buildings and temples, the democraties to economical trade areas/some few cities and the communists have a similar position like the democrats, but have traditional support in rural areas. the farmers in cambodia are communistic, poor and need help and at least some support is given by the communists in a show to get this support.
      it is similar to italian communistic party after WW2, who was extremly for poor farmers and against conservative land owners and the church. i would suspect, that the vietnam communists killed some rebels/oposition too, but their claim to do it to prevent a second civilwar is not just a lie and their party is basicly the only garanty for at least some social support in the rural area with nearly 60% of the population in these areas. other parties dont care about these regions. every street, hospital, kindergarden, bridge and school in these areas were build by communists. i think some americans should watch the old italian show "don camillo and pepone". communism is like christianity not allways bad. some populations should use it. it is more reasonable, explicit as a poor farmer in a small state.

      @Only Solo well, I guess I still do have a long way to go since I'm 14, but my history and CLVE teachers are teaching a lot of geographical stuff more ever since school started, and I only now realised that Egypt is technically part of Africa. Just like what the other guy explained at the previous comment.
      And I guess I'm starting to understand why Americans don't know geography all too well, but it's still quite annoying that they'd expect Asians to be the same. At least be aware of the damn difference.

      @Only Solo well that's cool, I guess I learnt my lesson for being ignorant. Still, there are other Americans who aren't aware of the continent and country differences despite having better education than most other countries, but that can be passed on since their history is taught more often than geography. At least that's what an American teacher explained.
