Extending from the imposing plateau of Tibet to the narrow spit of land that occupies the western part of the Malay peninsula, the extreme offshoot of the wider Indochinese Peninsula in which the state is included, the territory of Myanmar appears as a hook of mountains that run along the three quarters of the borders and enclose within them a flat and irrigated heart, a land of rice that for centuries has fed the population and connotes the country’s economy. Due to its position of convergence between China, India and the rest of Indochina, Myanmar hosts an extreme variety of nationalities and ethnic groups, albeit with a clear prevalence of Burmese, hence the ancient name of the state. The complex ethnic mosaic and the intent to satisfy the requests for autonomy on the part of the various components of the population, have resulted, over time, in the adoption of a federal structure, which however proved to be not enough to contain internal instability, constant note of the life of the country and an obstacle to mature political, social and economic growth. Looking only at the last fifty years, the country has been the victim of an almost uninterrupted sequence of military coups, capillary controls on the population, impositions of forced labor, resurgence of violence against minorities and, last but not least, repressions of dissent and democratic formations starting from that National League for Democracy which has shown that it knows how to gather the consensus of a large slice of residents, but which continues to be an unheard bulwark for the affirmation of a new political course. This difficult internal situation, combined with the isolation resulting from a growing closure, has seriously compromised international relations, with serious damage especially for the economy and for the country’s chances of recovery. Also in this regard, political dissidents support very radical positions, in apparent contrast with national interests, going so far as to advise against the entry of foreign currency into the country, even through tourist channels, to prevent any proceeds from constituting further support., monetary and symbolic, for the practices of the regime. An emblem of this attitude of rupture and resistance has been the tireless testimony of the Nobel Peace Prize in recent decades Aung San Suu Kyi, daughter of the anti-colonial hero Aung San, imprisoned several times by the government since 1989 and only released at the end of 2010. According to COUNTRYAAH, Burma is a nation in Southeastern Asia, the capital city of which is Naypyidaw. The latest population of Burma is 54,409,811.

CLIMATE
The climate is linked to the monsoon mechanism, but local factors have a considerable impact; Thus, for example, the conditions of rainfall and temperature vary considerably between the coastal facades and the interior. In the central plains, which due to the presence of the Arakan mountains are sheltered from the marine influences of SW, there is a basically continental climate, reflected by the relatively low rainfall (for example less than 900 mm per year in Mandalay) and by the thermal averages, which in the same locality they are 21 ºC in January and 30 ºC in July; these characteristics are even more accentuated in the Shan plateau, on which only 200-300 mm per year fall. In coastal areas, on the other hand, there are lower summer averages and higher winter averages and much more abundant rainfall; Moulmein, for example,sea monsoon also receives 5000 mm of rainfall. On the northern reliefs above 3000 m, snowfalls give rise to perennial snows. As in the whole region subject to the monsoon climate, rainfall is concentrated between June and October, followed by a dry season between October and February, followed by another hot but not very humid season.
