Flag of Cambodia

Where it is
Cambodia is grouped in South-Eastern Asia, within Roam’s Asia region. Its land-border list includes 3 countries in this atlas: Laos, Thailand, Vietnam. The source classifies it as not landlocked.
Cambodia has a recorded area of 181,035 square kilometres. Among the 11 countries assigned to South-Eastern Asia in this dataset, it ranks 8 by area, from largest to smallest. Laos is immediately above it in that ordering, at 236,800 km². Timor-Leste is immediately below it, at 14,874 km². This comparison uses the source’s area figures and subregions, not a ranking of all territories.
The marker shows the atlas location. Small countries may be too small for an outline at this scale. Map boundaries are illustrative.
People, languages and currency
The World Bank records 17,847,982 people for Cambodia in 2025. This is the latest non-empty annual observation in Roam’s committed 2020–2025 download, rather than a live population counter. Dividing that population by the source area gives approximately 99 people per square kilometre. This calculated average does not describe how evenly people are distributed.
The language entries in the source are Khmer. They describe the dataset’s listed languages, not every language spoken by residents. The currency listed for this date is Cambodian Riel (KHR). Currency assignments are selected from Unicode CLDR’s date ranges for 23 October 2026; the three-letter codes identify currencies, not countries.
