Bhutan is a democratic constitutional monarchy and the world's only confirmed carbon-negative country until recently, when Suriname joined the ranks. This last Buddhist Himalayan kingdom spans 38,394 km² with a population of around 796,682, divided into 20 Dzongkhags or districts. Guided by Gross National Happiness (GNH), Bhutan prioritises well-being over material growth. Tourism started in 1974 during the Fourth King's Coronation, but the country truly emrged from self imposed isolationism only at the turn of the millenium with the coming of the television and internet.
