 | | The Union of Myanmar is a country in Southeast Asia, also known as Burma, which used to be the official name of the country until 1989. |
 | | This change of name has been officially recognized by the United Nations, but some national governments, such as the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and much of the Burmese population, do not recognize this name change, since they do not recognize the military government which instituted it. |
 | | Aung San Suu Kyi, whose party won election in 1990 by a landslide, but who was prevented from becoming prime minister by the military, has earned international praise as an activist for the return of democratic rule to Myanmar. |
