Detailed Country Guide
Overview and identity
Cambodia, officially listed here as Kingdom of Cambodia, is structured as a practical country reference guide for users searching country facts, maps, flags, codes, and daily-use data. The page should make Cambodia, KH, KHM, the flag, the official name, and the country slug easy to confirm because users often land on country pages while checking identifiers for forms, travel, education, or data products. Cambodia is grouped under Asia, more specifically South-Eastern Asia, with Asia shown as the continent context.
Geography and population scale
The country dataset records a population of 17,638,801 people and a land area of 181,035 square kilometers, which gives an approximate density of 97 people per square kilometer. The main coordinate reference is 13, 105, while the capital coordinate reference is 11.55, 104.92. Cambodia shares listed land borders with LAO, THA, VNM, and the landlocked value is recorded as no. These details help the page answer common searches around location, area, borders, map position, and population comparison.
Capital and urban network
The capital information is recorded as Phnom Penh (primary). The largest city entries shown for this country are Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, Battambang, Kampong Cham and Sisophon. Including cities alongside country-level facts helps the guide answer searches such as largest cities in Cambodia, capital of Cambodia, and major urban areas in Cambodia. This is useful because many users compare the official capital with the largest business, transport, or population centers.
Government, classification, and memberships
The government type is listed as Unitary parliamentary constitutional elective monarchy under a hereditary dictatorship. The classification fields mark sovereignty as yes, United Nations membership as yes, observer status as no, and disputed status as no. International memberships shown for this page include ASEAN and United Nations. These fields support search intent around political status, country classification, and international organization membership.
Administrative formats and daily-use data
Cambodia uses calling code +855, postal format #####, and time zone data listed as UTC+07:00. The number format uses , as the thousands separator and . as the decimal separator. The week starts on monday; the academic year starts around Oct 1; the government fiscal year starts around Jan 1; and the personal fiscal year starts around Jan 1.
Currency, language, transport, and references
Currency data lists KHR - Cambodian riel (α) and USD - United States dollar ($), while language records include Khmer. Vehicle data records the driving side as right and vehicle sign codes as K. Reference links should keep official, Wikipedia, Google Maps, and OpenStreetMap sources together when available so users can move from the structured country guide to map or source pages quickly. The country dataset does not include a recent Gini entry for this profile.
How to use this profile
This Cambodia profile is designed to be scanned in layers: first the name, official name, flag, capital, population, area, and density; then identity, geography, cities, governance, memberships, formats, connectivity, currency, languages, transport, and references. That structure supports both human readers and product workflows where users need to verify a phone code, compare cities, inspect fiscal dates, check postal formats, review memberships, or open a map reference without searching across multiple pages.
