Culture

ာ့ ဥ်က ျေးြှု) has been heavily
influenced by Buddhism and the Mon people. Burmese culture has also been influenced by its
neighbours.
Government
Myanmar (also known as Burma) is a unitary parliamentary republic under its constitution of 2008.
The Economist Intelligence Unit has rated Myanmar as a "hybrid regime" in 2016. The military of
Burma holds a large amount of power in the government, despite the end of the last Burmese
military dictatorship.[1]
hybrid regime is a mixed type of political regime that arises on the basis of an authoritarian as a
result of an incomplete democratic transition.[1] Hybrid regimes combine autocratic features with
democratic ones, they can simultaneously hold political repressions and regular elections. The term
“hybrid regime” arises from a polymorphic view of political regimes that opposes the dichotomy
of autocracy or democracy.[2] Hybrid regimes are characteristic of resource countries (petro-states).
Such regimes are stable and tenacious.[
