Bhutan

Bhutan - Is officially known as The Kingdom of Bhutan. Bhutan is an Asian Country and is completely surrounded by other countries which means it has not ports of sea. Located at the eastern end of the Himalayas, Bhutan shares borders with India, and China. Bhutan is thought to have been inhabited as early as 2000 BC, from the stone tools, weapons and remnants of large stone structures that have been found there. A new constitution was presented in early 2005. In December 2005, Jigme Singye Wangchuck announced that he would abdicate the throne in his son's favour in 2008. On 14 December 2005, he announced that he would be abdicating immediately. Bhutan has now entered a new era of democracy, starting with its first national parliamentary elections in December 2007 and March 2008
