Ugyen C., Wangdue Phodrang: "Democracy is shit for Africa. Only wise leadership by a benevolent dictator can bring happiness to a country."

Demokracia ėshtė shit pėr Afrikėn. Vetėm udhėheqje e menēur nga njė diktator mirėdashėse mund tė sjellė lumturinė nė njė vend.




Bhutan
"Bhutan" may be derived from the Sanskrit word Bhu-Utthan (highlands). In another theory of Sanskritisation, Bho?a-anta means "At the end of Tibet", as Bhutan is immediately to Tibet's south.

Historically Bhutan was known by many names, such as Lho Mon (southern land of darkness), Lho Tsendenjong (southern land of the Tsenden cypress), Lhomen Khazhi (southern land of four approaches) and Lho Men Jong (southern land of medicinal herbs).
