Peaceful and great only for Nalops, not for we Sharshop. Go back to Tibet all Nalop and your king. We want our country by our people not by Nalop king.

Monarchies have given way to democracies in many places, and yes peacefully. It's no joke at all. Learn some history.

Truthalltheway, is an alternate account made by someone who hates Bhutan. This person has several puppet accounts he uses to spam insults against Bhutanese.

It is good to have a democracy.But please be warned that mixing of your people with the rest of the world may bring in disease which may till now not have been there.Remain organic in your farming. Do not be lured by artificial manure.Try avoid allopathic medicine as far as possible. Do not mix to freely with the outside people in particulr those of the western world and Americas.Keep your distance.
