Monarchy one is pretty tricky given how recently Nepal lost theirs to Prachanda.

Nommed!

Could you clarify the currency question? Bhutan uses the Indian rupee alongside the ngultrum.

"its currency", so Indian rupee isn't Bhutan's currency.

If a currency is legally used in a country, and it applies to the Indian rupee in Bhutan, then it is a country's currency. Ngultrum is even officially pegged to the Indian rupee.

So the request for clarification is absolutelly justified. And you can easily get rid of this ambiguity by using the term "official curency".

I removed the currency question and replaced it with the Gross National Happiness question.

One of the dark parts of the Nepal-Bhutan connection is the story of the Lhotsampa, the Nepali-speaking Bhutanese people who were forcibly expelled from their homes, despite the fact that some of them had ancestry stretching back generations. Almost all of the Nepali-speaking people where I live in Harrisburg, PA still identify themselves as Bhutanese, because they still consider that to be their home.

So I guess they are now contributing to Harrisburg's Gross Municipal Happiness.

There are so many Nepalis coming to Harrisburg it's crazy. There are stores and restaurants everywhere.

You could add BOTH to question 6 & 13 just to make it a bit trickier.

I was in Thimpu (Bhutan) in 2008 and they have one traffic light in a square in the centre of town. But they also have a policeman directing the traffic so its a bit obsolete!

Bhutan also has an official royal yeti-hunter.....

The average elevation question is really mean, given how small the difference is... I like it!
