Bland United Tibet

High in the Himalayas, sandwiched between Bland United India and China, is the exotic land of Bland United Tibet.

Tibet is pretty isolated.

Key Features of Bland United Tibet
Bland United Tibet is the Tibetan Autonomous Region. This puts the Kham and Amdo regions almost entirely under Chinese control; the government in Lhasa is much less bothered by this than you might expect. (Oddly, the historic borders of Tibet would make it even more space-filling than usual.)

There is always a Dalai Lama in charge of Tibet. If he doesn't exist yet, he does here.

Tibet is, as a rule, also portrayed as an exotic, Oriental Switzerland, so most of the same tropes apply.
 * Tibet is usually neutral.
