2. Actually, this article also says there are large, unexploited deposits of oil and gas.

Than Shwe, a high-school dropout, does not have particularly aristocratic roots, however. He was born in 1933, when Myanmar, then known as Burma, was still under British colonial rule. Those formative years under foreign rule may explain his regime's still-frequent warnings that Britain and the United States support subversive elements aimed at stirring unrest inside Myanmar toward the alleged aim of overthrowing the military government and securing privileged access to the country's rich bounty of natural resources, including large unexploited deposits of oil and gas.

Li'l Boots is going to be so confused.
