In defence I was stating what I thought to be the figure of ALL Ireland, both the Republic in the south (current figures show around 4 million), plus Northern Ireland, belonging to the U.K. Their population is around 1.7 million. So a guess of 5.7 million wasn`t too bad I suppose. But it`s not all that tropical there! :-({|=

Nope, it's not a very well known country but I would say that everyone has heard of it b4. It's fairly underdeveloped, however there is a lot of development starting to take place now

CONGRATULATIONS Rick, you are correct =D>

The People's Republic of Laos

Background:

In 1975, the Communist Pathet Lao took control of the government, ending a six-century-old monarchy. Initial closer ties to Vietnam and socialization were replaced with a gradual return to private enterprise, a liberalization of foreign investment laws, and the admission into ASEAN in 1997
