Siam is a nation located in continental Southeast Asia. It managed to escape colonization, unlike some of the other nations in formerly foreign-dominated Southeast Asia. However, it was occupied at the end of the Pan-Global War after its then dictatorship sided with the Japanese, who used it as a base for the invasion of Malaya and thus Sundarapore, and which, itself, occupied Lanna and parts of Lan Xang. After the war, it became a moderately stable democracy, though it has had some coup attempts.
