Culture

What is the population of Cambodia? What is their population compared to the United States? Where do people live in Cambodia? What are some of the major cities there and what is there population? What types of agriculture do they have and what type of diet do they have?
Are industry and tourism related to the geography and climate? Are there cultural activities related to geography and climate? Are there any notable historical events that add to the climate/culture story?

As of July 2012 the population of Cambodia was 14,952,665 (Index Mundi). The population of the United States is 307,006,550.

In Cambodia 60 percent of people live on farms and in villages. 35 percent live in poverty, making only 2-3 dollars per day. Many of the people included in the poverty rate live in ram shacks and huts in the country, most of which do not have running water or electricity. It is not uncommon for a single room to be shared by 6-10 people.

 Phnom Penh is Cambodia's largest city with a  population of 1,573,544 followed by Takeo with a population of 843,931(geonames.org)

In many villages and almost all farms, the people of Cambodia produce rice as their main crop.

Prek Ampil is a tourist destination in Kampot, off the coast of Koh Toch. This is a large tourist destination because it has beautiful white-sand beaches with resort hotels. The humidity there allows for palm trees to grow and for many plants to thrive.
