Speaking of which, Hapsburg wincest eventually caused the very tense “relations” in Europe which lead to multiple wars that lead to an art student’s rise to power which lead to hentai becoming mainstream because of that art student.
That’s incorrect, they recognize the PRC and in fact they recognized long before 1968 most UN member states. Lacking an embassy in another country doesn’t mean you don’t acknowledge it as a sovereign state. Bhutan doesn’t have an embassy to the United States of America but it isn’t like it goes around pretending the US government doesn’t exist.
It's just not my aesthetic preferences! But apparently Bhutan just likes you the way you are. I am from Germany, so I can't rely put some beauty standards to others, that I would fail by myself. My country is just as flat as yours in the top, medium in the middle and gets really tall in the bottom. But I've learned to live with it and don't listen to what all the other, hotter countries think about it.
I find it intriguing that east Asia in general seem more willing to work with the Dutch. Is there a specific reason? Or were they just that dominant in the region?
The fact that we adapt to our (economical) partners might have an influence. We learn the language, instead of staying stubborn. Still exists today, where most schools teach german or french for a year, and depending on the level of education (we've separated smarter and less smart(not to be degrading but just an easy way to say it) people into level in high school) it will become a subject for the rest of high school. English is mandatory I believe for everyone. KEEP IN MIND: THIS IS AN OBSERVATION AND JUST THEORETICAL. I HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE ON THE SPECIFIC SUBJECT.
Yes, English is indeed a required subject to graduate high school and almost everyone can speak it fluently, the Netherlands is also the best English speaking country which does not have it as a main or secondary language
Honestly, its hillarious that wenever you hear that one accent you immediatly know: Ah! Its a fellow dutchmen.
Afterwards the next question enters the fray...
Is he... Dutch... Or flemish...
Not sure but I know that in the case of Japan faith was a big part in it. The Portugese briefly traded as well until they started converting the Japanese to Catholicism. The Dutch were Calvinist and generally had no intention to convert the Japanese, much to the liking of the Japanese.
Bhutan isnt really East Asia though and the area was heavily dominated by the British, though they might have had reason to dislike the British because of their oppressive colonial policy in the area (Bhutan borders British India). It's probably just a coincidence they choose the Dutch and was probably followed soon after by other countries.
In a lot of cases "not recognizing" just means not maintaining diplomatic contact and my guess is that the country was closed off from the rest of the world so they didnt have an interest in diplomacy because they just didnt care
I'm actually referencing CK2: New Era Old World. Bhutan is called TDE and possibly is the most advanced nation in the planet, putting the Brazilian and Nigerian empires to shame. However, their isolationist policy and more importantly their ossified burocracy mean it isn't as powerful as it can be. Playing with them involves creating competent emperors in several fields to fix the problems
Bhutan didn't need to recognize other countries, because they didn't conduct modern diplomacy for most of their history. They still don't recognize most countries. It isn't needed, because India usually conducts diplomacy on behalf of Bhutan.
Bhutan only operates 5 embassies and only 2 embassies operate within Bhutan.
Bhutan recognizes other countries. I know you found this in MapPorn. Having no diplomatic relations is different than not recognizing countries, most of Bhutan diplomacy is done through New Delhi
India: "Am I a joke to you?"
Bhutan was the first nation to recognize India's independence in 1947, having already been a protectorate of British India since 1910...
Yeah man, come again. Bhutan is such a nice little country. A nice tip from me- always visit during the winter, it's not the tourist season at that time and you can get things for much much cheaper, and get to relax in solitude. Ofc, if you don't mind the cold that is. And try to become good friends with the guide, he will help you negotiate much cheaper deals on souvenirs, and remember to tip him well on the last day.
I lived with a Bhutanese guy for a while, so it'd be cool if I could meet up with him again. But yeah I prefer travelling places in Winter. I went to America in winter and it was a lot of fun driving down the East Coast.
it's just that they don't really care. they were on the news for recognising Israel lately, for example. didn't do that because of some strong ideological or pragmatic views. it was more like India going there and saying "hey there's this tiny country that really likes to be recognised, and can help you with funds for public projects and stuff" and Bhutan was like "aight sure thing pal"
Been to Bhutan. Awesome place with great people. More than anywhere else, the people there just seem at peace with themselves. "Happiest country in the world" makes you think of laughing and smiling, but that's not it. They're just... satisfied with life. It's really quite inspiring.
I think Trump and Nethanyahu also had a part in it. it was in the middle of the whole normalization thing right before the US election, and I guess both leaders wanted to add a name to the list to boost their popularity.
It’s not so much that they actively didn’t recognize other countries, they just didn’t really feel the need to participate in modern diplomacy. They’re very isolationist

You are wrong, you stupid idiot! When India got it's independence from Britain, Bhutan was the first country to recognize India event though it did not established any diplomatic contacts.
All of Bhutan's Army is trained by India, they can serve in the Indian Army too
All of their infrastructure projects have been built by India
Till 2007, India used to somewhat handle their foreign affairs
The Bhutanese Ngultrum has been pegged to the Indian Rupee since 1974
All Bhutanese subjects can get a job in anyone of India's government services
The Thunder Dragon Empire doesn't concern itself with the petty whims of mice.
I'm convinced 75 percent of r/historymemes comes from hoi4 banter.
I'll have you know ck2 banter would be more prevalent if the General public didn't dislike ~~incest~~ pure blood.

Hey. I get most of mine from Civ and EU4.
I see you're a men of hoi4 as well
Oh, only 1200 hours. Paradox games man
There is just something about them
The name of Bhutan in its native language is Druk Yul: Thunder dragon Land
And its king is the Druk Gyalpo (Dragon King).
Chad country.
No, that's Chad 🇹🇩
You're right.
Chad’s so cool, Romania feels the need to copy their amazing flag
no that's the flag of romania🇷🇴, this is the flag of chad🇹🇩 /s
Fun with flags~
🇦🇩🇷🇴🇲🇩🇹🇩
🇷🇴 🇹🇩 If you look closely, the shades of blue are actually different
God pray chad and romania never go to war
Same with Luxembourg and The Netherlands 🇱🇺🇳🇱

Let's hope we don't see the revival of this mess 🇩🇪🇧🇪 With the addition of 🇺🇬
Slight darker yellow
And blue
And continent, that helps a lot!
*🇧🇹
Utterly embarrassing use of /s
Like every use of /s
Yes, I agree.
Not according to Bhutan
Not according to Bhutan
I don't even care if this is real or not, the concept alone is absolutely hilarious
I don’t think it officially recognizes either China (PRC/ROC)
True, they dont
Because they are the rightful china
Plus their flag has a frickin thunder dragon
Thats y theyre the rightful dragon of the east
That's half a cause I can get behind
So neither of PRC or ROC is the real China, Bhutan is
Yes
until extremely recently, they also recognized neither Palestine nor Israel
A somewhat unorthodox solution, but I'll take it.
Shit these guys should be in charge of the ~~UN~~ United Bhutan and Future Bhutan
1 china policy? Nah m8, that's cringe, it's time for the #0 China policy
That’s incorrect, they recognize the PRC and in fact they recognized long before 1968 most UN member states. Lacking an embassy in another country doesn’t mean you don’t acknowledge it as a sovereign state. Bhutan doesn’t have an embassy to the United States of America but it isn’t like it goes around pretending the US government doesn’t exist.
Oh okay thank you for correcting me
I tried pretending the us government doesn’t exist. They really don’t like that. Don’t recommend it.
Too lazy to fact check rn but thanks for giving me the chance :)
The Netherlands is the first non Asian country to be recognised by them in 1985. That means they surely must like our cheese
They like that you don't have any mountains.
Are you bodyshaming my country because its flat?
It's just not my aesthetic preferences! But apparently Bhutan just likes you the way you are. I am from Germany, so I can't rely put some beauty standards to others, that I would fail by myself. My country is just as flat as yours in the top, medium in the middle and gets really tall in the bottom. But I've learned to live with it and don't listen to what all the other, hotter countries think about it.
So Germany is thicc?
Sort of. Does...does this mean it's beautiful after all?
Hell yeah
Germany is beautiful anyway brother don’t you worry about it.
It certainly is curvy.
Not as thicc as Russia tho 🥶
Come on, lady Russia is a protective version of the Vampire Mommy.
Average Elevation in Nepal: 3265m Average Elevation in the Netherlands: 30m
I don’t even think it’s that, like half of the Netherlands is under sea level
What are they, a Civ 6 AI?
I find it intriguing that east Asia in general seem more willing to work with the Dutch. Is there a specific reason? Or were they just that dominant in the region?

Best speaking he says, while all I can hear is the fookin accent(am dutch for clarification)
Can confirm am Dutch

They were just thankful the Netherlands never colonized them
G E K O L O N I S E E R T
Alphabetical order possibly, Netherlands is right after Nepal, the New Zealand then Nicaragua
That's technically not true, the Bhutanese had signed multiple treaties with the British dating back to 1865.
They didn't recognize them though, same with China currently. Have some treaties but aren't recognized
"Meaningless historical document"
The British signed treaties with the British? Darn Brits working with the Brits again
lol fixed that
I mean, your chesse IS good. And chocomel
Fun fact: Bhutan only recognised other countries after trying some Amsterdam Kush.
why is bhutan everywhere
because bhutan is everywhere, in our hearts
PR campaign for them religiously cleansing
Can you attach any proof?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_cleansing_in_Bhutan
Bhutan bad ending
Because no one would dare to press Bhutan
Because there is only bhutan....
The Thunder Dragon Empire has no equal below Heaven, why should they recognize we maggots, writhing in the filthy of our own corruption?
I understood that reference!
I didn’t pls explain
In hoi4 fascist Bhutan is called the thunder dragon empire
I'm actually referencing CK2: New Era Old World. Bhutan is called TDE and possibly is the most advanced nation in the planet, putting the Brazilian and Nigerian empires to shame. However, their isolationist policy and more importantly their ossified burocracy mean it isn't as powerful as it can be.

Can you not use acronyms when explaining something please? I didnt understand half of what you said.
Kinda based ngl
Bhutan didn't need to recognize other countries, because they didn't conduct modern diplomacy for most of their history. They still don't recognize most countries. It isn't needed, because India usually conducts diplomacy on behalf of Bhutan. Bhutan only operates 5 embassies and only 2 embassies operate within Bhutan.

Actually they recognised Israel last year

India: "Am I a joke to you?" Bhutan was the first nation to recognize India's independence in 1947, having already been a protectorate of British India since 1910...
I thought the $250 a day visa fee was steep, then found out it included accommodation, guide and food. Makes me actually want to visit now.
Yeah man, come again. Bhutan is such a nice little country. A nice tip from me- always visit during the winter, it's not the tourist season at that time and you can get things for much much cheaper, and get to relax in solitude.

Bhutan still hasn't recognised Croatia for unknown reasons
But we know the reason: India does most of Bhutan's diplomacy. So they don't need to recognize other countries.
Yup
it's just that they don't really care. they were on the news for recognising Israel lately, for example. didn't do that because of some strong ideological or pragmatic views. it was more like India going there and saying "hey there's this tiny country that really likes to be recognised, and can help you with funds for public projects and stuff" and Bhutan was like "aight sure thing pal"
Forget Croatia, Bhutan still doesn't recognise China (either one), the US, UK, France etc.
All just unimportant dwarfs on the politcal stage
Been to Bhutan. Awesome place with great people. More than anywhere else, the people there just seem at peace with themselves. "Happiest country in the world" makes you think of laughing and smiling, but that's not it. They're just... satisfied with life. It's really quite inspiring.
To this day they still dont recognize either chinas existence
they recognized my country (israel) a few months ago. everyone here was like "yo wtf is a Bhutan".
They only did it cuz India told them to.
I think Trump and Nethanyahu also had a part in it. it was in the middle of the whole normalization thing right before the US election, and I guess both leaders wanted to add a name to the list to boost their popularity.
its fine, im used to it
[удалено]
Sounds more like a Mariah Carey "I don't know her" situation
Wait..seriously? So they were the only official country according to them?
It’s not so much that they actively didn’t recognize other countries, they just didn’t really feel the need to participate in modern diplomacy. They’re very isolationist
Been loving the attention one of my countries has been getting lately

Dude I’ve seen like 3 posts about Bhutan in my feed in the last 5 minutes. Apparently they still don’t recognize China as a country?
Fascist Bhutan in hoi4 is named Thunder Dragon Empire which is pretty cool if you ask me
No no, bhutan does recognize my country.
Fun fact: the latest country to have been recognized by Bhutan was actually recognized last year. That country is Israel
Do you happen to be on r/MapPorn ?
Niger? Never heard of her
BHUTANESE PASSPOOOORT
One year too early
They still don't recognise either china
You are wrong, you stupid idiot! When India got it's independence from Britain, Bhutan was the first country to recognize India event though it did not established any diplomatic contacts.
Isn't that the flag of Sri Lanka?
[удалено]

"ok fine i don't control the world anymore, you guys can exist"
I was they waited for one more year (1969)
Not even India and China?
1949 there was a friendship treaty between India and Bhutan
Gravy babies, assemble!
Feels like they didn't notice that it was a feature in the "post-WW2" update.
It recognises India and Bangladesh
Brb, leaving Germany
A Shadow Empire is being built as we speak.
Before that it only recognized India
All of Bhutan's Army is trained by India, they can serve in the Indian Army too All of their infrastructure projects have been built by India Till 2007, India used to somewhat handle their foreign affairs The Bhutanese Ngultrum has been pegged to the Indian Rupee since 1974 All Bhutanese subjects can get a job in anyone of India's government services
