Laos was part of French Indo-China, it became independent in 1953, but for most of the next 25 years it was torn by civil strife between the communist Pathet Lao movement and government supporters.

In 1975, the Pathet Lao achieved total control, and a communist republic was established. At the end of the 20th century Laos saw a gradual return to free enterprise.

The country has a population of 7 million inhabitants (UN estimate 2015). Capital city is Vientiane (Viang Chan).
Spoken languages are Laotian (official) and Thai.
