Bhutan
On March 24th Bhutan had their first ever political election. Some found it kind of difficult to balance democracy and their traditions at the same time. Buddhism is the main religion in Bhutan. Bhutan is a little kingdom in the Himalayans. When King, Jigme Singye Wangchuck announced he would support a constitutional monarchy with a popularly elected parliament.
