Myanmar, officially the Republic of the Union of Myanmar and also known as Burma, is a country in northwest Southeast Asia and the largest country by area in Mainland Southeast Asia. It is bordered by India to the west, Bangladesh to the southwest, China to the northeast, Laos and Thailand to the east and southeast, and the Andaman Sea and the Bay of Bengal to the south and southwest. Its capital is Naypyidaw, and its largest city is Yangon.[1]
History
During World War II, the British colony of Burma was invaded by Japan,[2] but it would eventually be recaptured by the Allied forces in 1945. On 4 January 1948, Burma gained independence from the United Kingdom and, in 1989, changed its official name to Myanmar, though Burma or similar names are still used in certain regions of the world.[1]
Since 2021, Myanmar has been engulfed in a civil war[3] between the ruling State Administration Council and the exiled National Unity Government.[1]
In 2023, while based in Singapore, the Abstergo Industries turncoat Shimazu Sei and her bodyguard Yuki learned about a sphere-shaped Piece of Eden hidden in the Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon, after Noa Kim used the Animus to relive the genetic memories of his ancestor Edward Kenway.[3] Sei, Yuki, Noa, and the Assassin Nathan Zhang subsequently travelled to Myanmar to retrieve the artifact, using a secret smuggling route that Nathan knew to arrive undetected in southern Myanmar.[4]
