Cambodia

Cambodia, officially called Kingdom of Cambodia is a country in Southeast Asia. It is bordered by Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand.
==History==
During the 20th century, Cambodia found itself as a part of the Cold War; from 1967 the country engaged in a civil war known as the Cambodian Civil War, during which communist forces known as the Khmer Rouge fought the United States-backed government forces. The Khmer Rouge attack was also supported by other communist countries, such as Albania, Bulgaria, China, Cuba, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, North Korea, Poland, Romania and the Soviet Union.

The communist regime killed about a quarter of the population of Cambodia; Pol Pot ordered mass destruction of Buddhist temples, killings of people just for wearing glasses which were seen as a sign of intellectualism, and worse.
In November 1978, Vietnamese troops invaded Cambodia in response to border raids by the Khmer Rouge and conquered it, removing Pol Pot from power and putting an end to his genocidal regime. This in turn caused China to retaliate and attack Vietnam; the conflict lasted for about a month, with China withdrawing its troops in March 1979.
Cambodia barely, if at all, took part in the Third World War; it agreed to aid the rest of the Comintern during talks with the Soviet premier but wouldn't do much, except for supporting the Chinese.
In 1993, the monarchy was restored with Norodom Sihanouk reinstated as King, and the first post-war election was coordinated.
==Trivia==
*thumb|250px|Screenshots of the cancelled Cambodian E5M1 missionOriginally, Cambodia was going to be featured in the game. The original E5M1 mission involved the player having to assassinate the successor of Pol Pot, first named Wawrzyniec Pot and then Lao Por; the mission would involve the player going through a creepy misty jungle with moss-covered ruins and filled with skull piles and gore, before entering a small Cambodian city and then Wawrzyniec/Lao's mansion, and the occult bunker underneath it, where Ghosts and snake monsters were to be fought. In 2023, this was replaced by assassinating Kim Il Sung in North Korea.
**The snake monsters in question were a reference to the cult Polish movie, Klątwa Doliny Węży, made as a communist response to Indiana Jones, where ancient alien-like conspiracy featuring snake monsters is discovered. They were even going to be named Khuman, just like the movie's infamously poorly made giant snake monster.
