Cambodia Overview
Cambodia, a state in Southeast Asia, in southern India. Most of the land is lowland. It is dominated by wooded mountains. Lake Tonle Sap is connected to the Mekong. Cambodia has a tropical monsoon climate and is a distinctly agricultural country: rice fields occupy over 70% of the cultivated land. Other products are sesame, cotton, rubber, tobacco and pepper. Cambodia is one of the poorest countries in the world. The majority of the population belongs to the Khmer people; Buddhism is the state religion.
History: The area conquered by the Khmer in the 6th century was a center of the powerful Khmer empire (capital Angkor) from the 9th century, which flourished in the 12th and early 13th centuries. After Angkor was destroyed by the Thai, the capital was moved to Phnom Penh in 1434. A controversial subject between Thai and Vietnamese from the 17th to 19th centuries, Cambodia signed a protectorate treaty with France in 1863 and was incorporated into Indochina in 1887.
In 1946 Cambodia became an autonomous state in the French Union, and in 1954 it gained independence. King was from 1941 Norodom Sihanouk, who abdicated in 1955 in favor of his father; after his death in 1960 the throne remained vacant and Sihanouk became head of state.
After General Lon Nol (1913–85) came to power, who proclaimed the republic in 1970, a civil war broke out between the communist Khmer Rouge and the pro-American government, which ended in 1975 with a victory for the Khmer Rouge. The following reign of terror under Prime Minister Pol Pot (1928–98) cost the lives of around one million people. In 1979 the Khmer Rouge was overthrown after a war with Vietnam (1977-79) and now fought the Vietnam-friendly government in a guerrilla war. After the start of the international Cambodia conference, the Vietnamese troops left the country in 1989. In 1991 the civil war parties agreed on a peace agreement, in 1993 parliamentary elections were held and a new constitution (reintroduction of the monarchy) was passed. King has been Norodom Sihamoni (* 1953) since 2004.

National symbols
The national flag was first introduced in 1948 and re-adopted in 1993. It is horizontally striped blue-red-blue, the height of the red stripe is half the height of the flag. In the middle of the red stripe there is a white depiction of the temple of Angkor Vat. Blue stood for the king, red for the people. According to today’s interpretation, red is reminiscent of the blood shed for peace and freedom, blue of the natural treasures of the country and the temple complex of the glorious past.
The coat of arms was first introduced in 1948 (other symbols existed under the rule of the Khmer Rouge and the UN administration). It shows the Cambodian royal crown in gold over a gold-braided red cloak, on which two gold cups placed one on top of the other with a sword lying on top are depicted in a blue oval. Below are two green laurel branches, which are held together by a medal. Shield holders are two lions each carrying an umbrella, the heraldic one on the right has an elephant head. Under the coat of arms a band with the official state name in Khmer.
The national holiday on November 9th commemorates the gaining of independence in 1953.
