The Golden Triangle is the largest drug base in all of Asia and one of the major drug-producing regions in the world. Positioned at the intersection of several countries, the political situation here is highly chaotic due to the nurturing influence of drugs. It can be said that the Golden Triangle area operates almost without law and restraint, with various drug lords controlling different territories, each having their own armies, hence the leaders dub themselves as generals.
Although the government's military forces conduct drug raids annually, the terrain of the Golden Triangle is too complex. When the troops come to sweep the area, the drug traffickers hide in the mountains and engage in guerrilla warfare, leaving the military unable to cope with them, and instead suffer heavy losses during pursuits. Thus, eventually, several countries simply gave up on this region, letting the drug lords perish or thrive on their own.
