Quote: ''In return for keeping the peace, the UWSA was given full autonomy over what the regime termed "Special Region No. 2," which Bao christened "Wa state."''〕 The administrative capital is Pangkham (, formerly known as Panghsang, 邦桑). The name ''Wa'' derives from the Wa ethnic group, who speaks a language in the Austroasiatic family of languages. Wa State has a population of an estimated 558,000. Wa State is an undefined area that encloses eastern Shan State. Many of the Wa are animists, and a small proportion of the population follows a derivative of either Buddhism or Christianity. The Wa were once known as the "Wild Wa" by the British due to their practice of headhunting.〔( "Headhunting days are over for Myanmar's "Wild Wa"", Reuters, Sep 10, 2007. )〕 == Politics and society == Wa State is divided into northern and southern regions which are separated from one another, with the 13,000 square kilometre southern region bordering Thailand and consisting of 200,000 people. The total area of the region controlled by the Wa State is 17,000 square kilometres. Political leaders of the Wa State are mostly ethnic Wa people. The government of the Wa State emulates many political features of the government of China, having a Central Committee and a central party known as the United Wa State Party. Whilst the Wa State is ''de facto'' highly autonomous from the control of the central Myanmar government,〔2009年9月, (不透明さ増すミャンマー情勢:2010年総選挙に向けて ), IDE-JETRO〕〔2011年11月15日, (地図にない街、ワ州潜入ルポが凄い『独裁者の教養』 ), エキサイトレビュー〕 their relationship is based on peaceful coexistence and the Wa State recognises the sovereignty of the central government over all of Myanmar.〔2011-10-13, (缅甸佤邦竟然是一个山寨版的中国 ), 军情观察〕 The working language of the Wa State government is Chinese.〔(Interactive Myanmar Map ), The Stimson Center〕〔(Wa ), Infomekong〕〔(General Background of the Wa ). Quote: ''The official languages (designated by the current UWSP administration) are Mandarin and Wa.''〕 Television broadcasts within the Wa State are broadcast in Standard Chinese. Commodities within the Wa State are brought over from China, and the Renminbi is used for exchanges. China Mobile has cellular coverage over some parts of the Wa State.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wa State」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
