Imagine a country in which a King instils democracy in his people, where residents of the capital city vote against the installation of traffic lights, where ancient monasteries stand sentinel in lush valleys and on snow-capped peaks, and the guiding principal of development is Gross National Happiness. Welcome to The Land of the Thunder Dragon. Welcome to Bhutan.
