Narrow rice valleys in the hills between the Ping and the Salween: Shan, Karen and Lawa country with no state over it (the campaign board).
Nobody garrisons this; raiding parties cross it in both directions and a road runs through it to the Mon coast. Customs and assemblies: village rule. Mae Hong Son town is an early nineteenth-century elephant camp and Mawkmai State is of 1767; neither exists in 1200.
