'''Burma''' was a region of the world under at least the nominal control of [[Kublai Khan]] in the [[13th century]].  This meant it was likely in [[Asia]], somewhat proximate to [[China]]. [[First Doctor|The Doctor]] once won all its commerce for one year by playing high-stakes [[backgammon]].  ([[DW]]: ''[[Marco Polo (TV story)|Marco Polo]])
