Bhutan

Bhutan's population is divided between the dominant Buddhist groups of the north and a Nepali-speaking Hindu minority in the south, many of whom were expelled in the early 1990s. Dzongkha is the national language.

Tibetan Buddhism is the state religion and pervades national life, architecture, and governance.

Society

Bhutan has improved health and education markedly and has a small, slowly growing population, having opened cautiously to television and the internet only in 1999.
