Nation states
| Nation state | Description |
|---|---|
| India | The "Jewel in the Crown" of the British Empire. Until independence in 1947 it was ruled from London under the auspices of a British-appointed Viceroy whose powers were absolute. |
| Maldives | Small country of Islands in the Indian Ocean. Main source of income for most is tourism. |
| Manchukuo | Japanese puppet state 1933-1945. Place of major Japanese deep state activities, and the fortunes of many deep state actors. |
| Nepal | Very poor country only known to most people for including the Mount Everest and other big mountains. The silent hidden sex trafficking that happens on the base of the mountains is often ignored. |
| Pakistan | Like Afghanistan, former colony of the UK Pakistan is haunted by CIA drone attacks. Its nuclear weapons cache and border disputes with India also don't help. Supposedly Osama Bin Laden was killed here, in the rich, western city of Abbottabad. |
| Sri Lanka | Small country in Asia, an attack blamed on IS killed more than 200 people in 2019 just after COVID erupted. |
