Why does Wikipedia's Myanmar entry dance around its Myanmar's identity as socialist - IOW if Wikipedia wishes to be taken seriously as an unbiased source of facts it must dump its leftwing bias?

Everyone has a unique opinion of what the facts might be, which to include, and which are biased. It's not an easy balance, especially when there's only so much time in a day.

Consider joining Wikipedia and contributing to its articles. Maybe more diversity of opinion in the editing of articles can increase perceived "balance" or "impartiality" for some.

Where is Burma city?

The Internet has many useful resources in relation to Burma (Myanmar) . Make sure that is it a reputable website (i.e. not a tourist website but one with (.org) or (.gov)). I have always found Lonely Planet extremely good resource to find out general information regarding the history, demography, and cultural aspects of Burma. However, it also provides a good insight into whether one should actually travel to Burma or instead boycott the country because of its oppressive government.

On the Lonely Planet website you are able to have a quick read of some useful information but it also allows you to purchase the Myanmar book, which I recommend doing.

If you are interested in Burma's history, I suggest reading one of the following books:

1. Living Silence: Burma under Military Rule (Politics in Contemporary Asia) - Christina Fink;

2. Letters from Burma - Aung San Suu Kyi (currently under house arrest for protesting and expressing view against the current government); and

3. Burmese Days - George Orwell (interesting read and although fiction novel, discusses what life was like in Burma during colonial times).

Hope this helps.
