	[[~~File~~:~~Map of Nepal.png\|thumb\|Map of Nepal]]~~

	~~== Geography ==~~
	~~Nepal is known for its diverse geography, which ranges from the fertile [[Terai]] plains~~ in ~~the south to the rugged [[Himalayas]] in the north, including [[Mount Everest]], the highest point on Earth. The country's terrain plays a significant role in its cultural and biological diversity.~~
	~~The country is divided into three main geographic regions:~~
	* The [[Himalayan]~~] region, where many of the world's highest peaks are located.~~
	* The [[Hilly Region\|Hills]] region, which includes valleys and mid-altitude mountains.
	* The [[Terai]] region, a flat and fertile land that is part of the northern [[Ganges]] basin.

	~~== History ==~~
	Nepal has a long history of civilization, dating back thousands of years. It was home to several ancient cultures and is noted for being the birthplace of [[Gautama Buddha]], the founder of [[Buddhism]], in the city of [[Lumbini]] around the 6th century BCE.
	Historically, Nepal was a kingdom ruled by monarchs until the country transitioned to a federal republic in 2008 after a decade-long [[Nepalese Civil War\|civil war]] between government forces and [[Maoist]] insurgents. The monarchy was abolished, and Nepal became a multi-party democracy.

	~~== Politics ==~~
	Nepal operates as a federal parliamentary republic. The President is the head of state, while the Prime Minister is the head of government. The country is divided into seven provinces, each with its own government. The [[Constitution of Nepal]], adopted in 2015, defines Nepal as a secular state, though [[Hinduism]] remains the dominant religion.

	~~== Economy ==~~
	Nepal's economy is primarily agrarian, with about 60% of the population employed in agriculture. The country's major crops include rice, maize, and wheat. Tourism, especially trekking and mountaineering, plays a significant role in the economy, particularly due to the popularity of the [[Himalayas]] and heritage sites such as [[Pashupatinath]] Temple and [[Boudhanath]] Stupa.
	~~Nepal faces economic challenges due to its landlocked geography and political instability, but it has seen gradual development in areas like infrastructure, education, and health.~~

	~~== Demographics ==~~
	Nepal is a multi-ethnic, multi-lingual, and multi-religious nation. The majority of the population practices [[Hinduism]], followed by [[Buddhism]], [[Islam]], and other religions. [[Nepali language\|Nepali]] is the official language, though many ethnic groups speak their own languages.
	The country's population is a blend of various ethnicities, including the [[Chhetri]], [[Brahmin]], [[Magar]], [[Tharu people\|Tharu]], and [[Tamang]] communities. Urbanization is increasing, but most people still live in rural areas.

	~~== Culture ==~~
	Nepal's rich cultural heritage is shaped by its diverse population and geography. Traditional Nepalese architecture, art, and festivals are deeply rooted in [[Hindu]] and [[Buddhist]] traditions. Major festivals include [[Dashain]], [[Tihar]], [[Buddha Jayanti]], and many others. The country is also known for its unique traditional music and dance, as well as its distinctive cuisine, including dishes like [[dal bhat]].

	~~== Foreign Relations and Military ==~~
	Nepal maintains a policy of neutrality in international relations, with close ties to both China and India. It is a member of the [[United Nations]] and several regional organizations, including the [[South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation]] (SAARC). The [[Nepalese Army]] primarily focuses on national defense and participates in [[United Nations peacekeeping missions]].
