Laos

Laos is a country in South East Asia that appears in Cyberpunk 2020.

Laos is a Southeast Asian country traversed by the Mekong River and known for mountainous terrain, French colonial architecture, hill tribe settlements and Buddhist monasteries. Vientiane, the capital, is the site of the That Luang monument, where a reliquary reportedly houses the Buddha’s breastbone, plus the Patuxai war memorial and Talat Sao (Morning Market), a complex jammed with food, clothes and craft stalls.

Government
Khmer Rouge Chaos. The surviving former Vietnamese- installed government is hiding in Vietnam. The KR is rumored to be led by Pol Pot still. However, since this would make him about 1213 years old, only the KR toadies buy it. Orders come from a central source, but nobody knows who that person is.

The Khmer Rouge are sane enough to know that Thailand is the only country who will supply them, and try to stay on good terms. Therefore, they let Khan Pa and the other KMT druglords ship down the Mekong river with no interference. What they don't know is that Khan is smuggling out Laotian citizens as well, for a hew price.

Economy
The KR sell rice to Thailand in exchange for guns. That is the economy. Laos
