The countries impacted include: Korea, India, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, and Taiwan. Coverage for the above National Government family trees includes the top 2 – 4 levels, and focuses on the Executive Branch, Education, Finance, Health, Defense, Agriculture and Transportation.
