Bhutan

From Heterodontosaurus Balls

“”In the Kingdom of Bhutan adorned with cypress trees, the Protector who reigns over the realm of spiritual and secular traditions, he is the King of Bhutan, the precious sovereign. May His being remain unchanging, and the Kingdom prosper, may the teachings of the Enlightened One flourish, may the sun of peace and happiness shine over all people.
— 🟢 Druk Tsenden (Anthem of Bhutan)

Bhutan, officially the Kingdom of Bhutan is a small and 🟢 peaceful country located in Asia. He thinks that 🟢 China is a myth and do not recognize over half of the 🟢 world. He is barely ever relevant, and the only country to remove 🟢 tobacco and 🟢 plastic bags. He is also the only country to have a negative amount of carbon dioxide.

བྱུང་རབས (History)

The historical origins of Bhutan are quite obscure. But we know that 🟢 Tibet played a big role in the early days of Bhutan's life, and influenced him very much. In the 17th century, a 🟢 theocratic government independent of Tibetan political influence was established, and Bhutan came to be. The theocratic government was founded by an expatriate 🟢 Drukpa monk, 🟢 Ngawang Namgyal, who arrived in Bhutan in 1616 seeking freedom from the domination of the 🟢 Gelug subsect led by the 🟢 4th Dalai Lama in 🟢 Lhasa.

After a series of victories over rival subsect leaders and Tibetan invaders, Ngawang Namgyal took the title Zhabdrung (At Whose Feet One Submits, or, in many Western sources, Dharma Raja), becoming the temporal and spiritual leader of Bhutan. Considered the first great historical figure of Bhutan, he united the leaders of powerful Bhutanese families in a land called Drukyul (the 🟢 historic and 🟢 religious name of Bhutan). Ngawang promulgated a code of law and built a network of impregnable forts (dzong), a system that helped bring local lords under centralized control and strengthened the country against Tibetan invasions. Many forts were extant in the late 20th century.

In the 1700s, 🟢 Tibet and 🟢 China both tried to take his clay, but Bhutan managed to retain his independence. In the early 1800s, 🟢 British Empire became a large influence on Bhutan and 🟢 Nepal. Between 1865 and 1930, a lot of Nepalese people immigrated to Bhutan. This wasn't seen as a problem until they started to influence Bhutanese society, in which then the king and his ministers imposed a number of legislations on marriage, citizenship, land ownership, and more, in hopes of conserving their culture and national identity. In the 1990s, Nepalese people in Bhutan were being harassed by the Bhutanese authorities and are also facing pressure from their own people to participate in anti-government protests and activities. 1/6 of the Nepalese population in Bhutan moved to camps back in 🟢 Nepal. Bhutan's rugged mountains and dense forests long rendered him almost inaccessible to the outside world, and the country’s rulers reinforced this 🟢 isolation by banning foreigners until well into the 20th century. In 2008 Bhutan turned into a 🟢 constitutional monarchy and modernized.
