Flora and Fauna
"The one surpassing animal of the native fauna is the man-eating tiger, who fills the native proverbs and literature, depopulates whole villages and even besieges houses for days, sometimes leaping on the thatched roof and tearing his way down through."
(scary!)

Religion
"...the anciently all-powerful Buddhism, crushed by the revolution of 1392, is slight and uninfluential, with a few ignorant monks."
(LOL!)

Population
"The people are a mixed race of disputed elements, apparently Mongoloid and Ain with Manchu and Malayan infusions."
(Does VANK know about this? Very Happy )
