Introduction
Nepal,
officially the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal, is a landlocked sovereign
state located in South
Asia. It is located in the Himalayas and bordered to the north by
the People's Republic of China (well,
Tibet), and to the south, east, and west by the Republic of
India. With an area of 147,181 square kilometres,
Nepal is slightly larger than the state of Arkansas.
The ensuing elections for the constituent assembly on May 28, 2008
overwhelmingly favoured the abdication of the Nepali monarch and the
establishment of a federal multiparty representative democratic
republic.
Exceptions are still the autonomic regions of Mustang, Dholpo und
Khumbu.
