Seventh... A little introduction of Nepal

Let's listen to the beautiful Nepali national anthem.

The Capital of Nepal is Kathmandu. A person from Nepal is called Nepali.

The Kingdom of Nepal [nəˈpɑːl] is a landlocked nation in South Asia, bordering the People's Republic of China to the north and India to the south, east and west. Nepal has the distinction of being the world's only Hindu state, with about eighty percent of the people following this faith. For a relatively small country, the Nepali landscape is uncommonly diverse, ranging from the humid Terrai in the south to the lofty Himalayas in the north. Nepal boasts eight of the world's ten highest mountains, including Mount Everest on the border with China. Kathmandu is the capital and largest city.

After a long and rich history during which the region has splintered and coalesced under a variety of absolute rulers, in 1990 Nepal became a constitutional monarchy. This arrangement has been marked by increasing instability, both in the parliament and, since 1996, throughout large swathes of the country that have been fought over by Maoist insurgents. The Maoists have sought to overthrow the monarchy and establish their own form of republic; this has led to a civil war in which more than 12,000 people have died. On the pretext of quashing the insurgents, who now control about seventy percent of the country, early in 2005 the king unilaterally declared a "state of emergency", closing down the parliament and assuming all executive powers.
