Nagaland [State] (English spelling)

Japanese: ナガランド[州]（英語表記）Nagaland

A state in the northeastern corner of India, bordering Myanmar. Area: 16,500 km2, population: 1.21 million (1991). State capital: Kohima. At the northern end of the Arakan mountain range, several mountain ranges, including the Naga Hills, run from north-northeast to south-southwest, with long, narrow river valleys between them. The rivers flow mainly within Indian territory, but in the southeast they flow into Myanmar. The main occupations are continuous cropping on terraced fields in the river valleys and slash-and-burn agriculture on the mountain slopes, with rice being the main crop in the former. The only industries are sugar and paper manufacturing.
