Karen (English spelling)
One of the seven states in the Socialist Republic of the Union of Myanmar. Area: 28,700 km2. Population: 1.32 million (1994). Established in 1951. Administratively divided into eight townships. The state capital is Hpa-an. Located in southeastern Myanmar, south of Kayah State, it consists of a mountainous area stretching 110 km wide and 520 km long from northwest to southeast along the Thai border. As the mountainous area runs vertically along the eastern border, it is directly affected by the southwest monsoon and receives high rainfall, averaging 3,000 to 4,000 mm per year.
