Nepal has a diverse cultural and linguistic landscape, with more than 100 different ethnic groups and 123 different languages spoken within its borders. The official language of Nepal is Nepali, and the country is predominantly Hindu, although there are also significant Buddhist, Muslim, and Christian populations. Nepal has a parliamentary democracy, with a president as the head of state and a prime minister as the head of government. However, the country has a long history of political instability, and has experienced numerous coups, revolts, and periods of authoritarian rule. In recent years, Nepal has made progress in strengthening its democratic institutions, although political tensions and power struggles have continued to challenge the stability of the government. Geopolitically, Nepal has traditionally been caught between its two powerful neighbors, China and India. Both countries have exerted significant influence over Nepal, and have often used the country as a battleground for proxy wars and as a pawn in their own geopolitical struggles. However, Nepal has also sought to maintain its independence and has worked to build strong relations with other countries in the region and beyond.
