Most Asian countries have 1 president or King but Burma was split up into two magger parts of the country when the English fort with them in a war but Burma lost because the English had 5,000 but the Burmese had 200 people so there was a king before that and now theres 2 presidents for each part of the country so person is called Amyotha Hluttaw and Pyithu Hluttaw so they are

brothers and they rule the country. Infract Burma wasnt called Burma the country was called Myanmar before the English invaded but now most people call Myanmar Burma and that was in 1988. The Burma flag means that the Blue represents peace and endurance the Red represents courage and gallantry the white stands for purity and honor and there are these symbols and that is a cogwheel, stars and rice. The cogwheel and the rice stand for the countrys industry and agriculture and the union of the workers and the peasant class. The 14 stars stand for the 14 states.
