Line 65:
The '''Republic of Thailand''', commonly known as just '''Thailand''', is a country in South-East Asia. It is an independent member of the [[Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere|Japanese Co-Prosperity Sphere]], a rarity unlike its other Indochinese neighbours.
The country is bordered to the north by [[Yunnan]], to the south by the [[Military Governorate of Shonan-Marai]], to the north-west by the [[Burma|Union of Burma]]; and the east by the [[Kampuchea|Kingdom of Kampuchea]] and the [[Laos|Kingdom of Laos]].
An original Axis member during [[World War II]], Thailand saw great territorial gains in the peace deals, mainly in the Malay Peninsula, where it regained the control of the Northern Malay states of Kedah, Kelantan, Perlis and Terengganu that was lost in the Anglo-Siamese Treaty of 1909.
In the early hours of June 24th, 1932, the course of a small, rather insignificant Southeast Asian nation would change forever. Siam, once a feudal, absolutist relic of the past with an illusion of independence under the mercy of the British ever since the mid-1800s, had just overthrown its absolute monarchy.
Under his leadership, Plaek Phibunsongkhram modeled his government and reforms explicitly based on Mussolini's reform through modernization and westernization of Thai life through fashion, film, and eating utensils; but the most effort was expended on creating a national state, respected amongst its peers.
Line 102:
This leaves the Republic of Thailand in 1962, not one of glorious liberation, but a nation ravaged by decades of war, natural disasters, political chaos and infighting.
The old marshal's health reflects the nations state, as Phibun's health begins to falter. This means that a successor must be found soon, a topic that not even Phibun seems to care about, wishing instead that he could escape the capital and spend the last of his days in peace, yet unfortunately for the Marshal, his own creation wouldn’t be so kind to him…
