In the middle of the first millennium BC,ย Gautama Buddha, the founder ofย Buddhism, was born inย Lumbiniย in southern Nepal. Parts of northern Nepal were intertwined with the culture ofย Tibet. The centrally locatedย Kathmandu Valleyย is intertwined with the culture ofย Indo-Aryans, and was the seat of the prosperousย Newarย confederacy known asย Nepal Mandala. The Himalayan branch of the ancientย Silk Roadย was dominated by theย valley's traders. The cosmopolitan region developed distinct traditionalย artย andย architecture. By the 18th century, theย Gorkha Kingdomย achieved theย unification of Nepal. Theย Shah dynastyย established theย Kingdom of Nepalย and later formed an alliance with theย British Empire, under itsย Rana dynastyย ofย premiers. The country was never colonised but served as a buffer state betweenย Imperial Chinaย andย British India.ย Parliamentary democracyย was introduced in 1951 but was twice suspended by Nepalese monarchs, in 1960 and 2005. Theย Nepalese Civil Warย in the 1990s and early 2000s resulted in the establishment of aย secularย republicย in 2008, ending the world's lastย Hinduย monarchy. Theย Constitution of Nepal, adopted in 2015, affirms the country as aย secularย federalย parliamentary republicย divided intoย seven provinces. Nepal was admitted to theย United Nationsย in 1955, and friendship treaties were signed with India in 1950 and China in 1960. Nepal hosts the permanent secretariat of theย South Asian Association for Regional Cooperationย (SAARC), of which it is a founding member. Nepal is also a member of theย Non-Aligned Movementย and theย Bay of Bengal Initiative.
