He's the longest reigning monarch of all time. Well, out of the ones that we know of at least, but it's unlikely that any ancient kings could have survived so long AND be given the crown at such a young age.

Yes, I would like to be able to answer "Tibet" to this question, though I know what the response would be. Basically "Might is Right".

Apparently King Sobhuza had about 180 children that lived past infancy, and estimates are that he had over 1,000 grandchildren. That's nearly 0.1% of the population of Swaziland.

Do you think that when the leader of a foreign country makes a demonstrably true, albeit unflattering, comment about your country's leader that demonstrates that the entire country hates your country?

Seems like a bit of a stretch to me.

Hmmm, nice idea but India's tigers are nowhere near the one small area of Gujarat that has lions, so although they're a lot closer than any other two populations of the world's biggest cat species, it's not really all that possible for them to meet in the wild. Still, pretty cool that there are lions in India. And if you ever go to London Zoo you'll see their lions are Asiatic and the zoo has set up a whole Indian village display in and around the enclosure. It's great!
