	Global Adrenaline :: Asia :: Bhutan
		Bhutan lies in a hidden corner of the eastern Himalaya, sandwiched between China (Tibet) to the north and the Indian states of Sikkim to the west, Assam and West Bengal to the south, and Arunachal Pradesh to the east.
		A sparsely populated country, Bhutan is often likened to Switzerland because of its small size, jealously guarded isolation and stunning mountain scenery.
		A visit to Bhutan does not come cheaply, but we feel it is a small price to pay for the precious chance to walk through what is perhaps the last bastion of unexplored Himalayan wilderness, as well as to glimpse at a way of life that is all but vanished from other Himalayan countries.

	Monarch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Exceptions to this include the French co-prince of Andorra, who is not appointed for life (he is the French President, elected for a five year period by the French people), but still generally considered a monarch because of the use of a traditionally monarchical title.
		In a few cases a monarch is associated with a particular group (or nation) within a state, such as Te Arikinui Te Atairangikaahu of the Māori (the Māori Queen) and Osei Tutu II of the Ashanti.
		In China, "king" is the usual translation for the term wang 王, which designated the sovereign before the Qin dynasty and during the Ten Kingdoms period.

		On the King’s request, the Assembly approved an Act in 1969, in which the ruling monarch was required to abdicate the throne in favour of next royal successor from the Wangchuck Dynasty if no confidence vote is passed by the two-thirds majority.
		The earlier Kings had gauged the benefit of a sizable Hindu population in Bhutan, who are traditionally loyal to the institution of monarchy.
		Bhutan in fact never feared the Nepali population until it embarked upon its five-year development plans in 1961, which required import of a large number of construction workers, who happened to be overwhelmingly ethnic Nepali population because it had the adoptability and experience to work in a harsh situation, like the one prevailing in Bhutan.

		Despite the emphasis on backpacking in Kings Canyon, thousands do little more than visit the General Grant Tree (bumped to fourth on the Big Living Organism list) and hike the short trails that fan out from Cedar Grove.

	Autobio #6: Presidentialism
		The participants agreed that it would, indeed, be useful to remain in touch and to recruit others to discuss with us questions about the design of constitutional democracies that had a good chance of surviving.
		However, with the rise of democratic movements, this notion was challenged by the slogan that sovereignty belongs to the people or the nation, but not to the king.
		Perhaps in its origins, it was assumed that something like the sovereignty attributed to kings might be transferred to elected presidents, but without its supernatural sanctions, presidential authority is but a pale reflection of royal sovereignty.
