abstract
| - Bhutan (Dzongkha: འབྲུག་ཡུལ), officially the Buddhist Kingdom of Bhutan, is a landlocked country in South Asia located at the eastern end of the Himalayas. It is bordered to the north and east by China and to the south, and west by India. Bhutan's capital and largest city is Thimphu. Bhutan had been occupied by Tibet, Sikkim, and India until 1500, when the Bhutanese waged a war of independence with the aid of exiled Tibetans from China and helped create a distinct Bhutanese identity. Throughout its existence since independence, it faced a few wars with China and India, though with the aid of their Druks (Thunder Dragons) they had managed to retrain their independence. In 2006, based on a global survey, Business Week rated Bhutan the happiest country in Asia and the seventh-happiest in the world. In 2008, Bhutan made the transition from absolute monarchy to constitutional monarchy and held its first general election. As well as being a member of the League of Nations, Bhutan is a member of the Association of South Asian Nations (ASAN).
