The west never had a chance in Cambodia
Not much different than North Korea now
http://sea-globe.com/where-next/A quarter of a century on, with the main opposition party dissolved and its leadership broken and scattered, HE’s Cambodian People’s Party (CPP) has put aside the pretence of a popular mandate in favour of effective one-party rule, disenfranchising more than three million Cambodians who voted for the opposition and ensuring the CPP will face this year’s national elections virtually unopposed. For those Cambodians who have witnessed firsthand the growing popular demand for political change, the nation’s descent back into authoritarian rule has been a bitter blow.
In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

More like Vietnam or Thailand which are both one party states. Cambodia has no nukes, no famine, no sanctions, no conscription, no summary executions (although some may dispute that), free access for tourists, the right for Khmer to leave when they like, economic growth of around 7% give or take, no currency controls....
