Nepal is a sovereign state in South Asia. It is a landlocked mountainous country in the Western Himalayas, Nepal borders the British Raj to the south, east and west,and Tibet to the north. To the east, it is separated from Bhutan by the Indian state of West Bengal.

Historical Background[edit]

The Rana regime, a tightly centralized autocracy, pursued a policy of isolating Nepal from external influences. This policy helped Nepal maintain its national independence during the British colonial era, but it also impeded the country's economic development and modernisation. The Ranas were staunchly pro-British and assisted the British during the Indian Rebellion of 1857 and later in both World Wars. At the same time, although Chinese claims, the British supported Nepalese independence at the beginning of the twentieth century.

In December 1923, Britain and Nepal formally signed a "treaty of perpetual peace and friendship" superseding the Sugauli Treaty of 1816 and upgrading the British resident in Kathmandu to an envoy.

Generic national focus tree.

Main article: Generic national focus tree

A short excerpt from the main article (use transclusion) of the different branches in the national focus tree - include a small thumbnail to the right. For nations without a unique NF tree use the generic national focus tree as seen in this example.

Nepal is not a major country and therefore shares the common generic national focus tree.

The generic focus tree has 5 main branches:

Army Effort gives army experience and research bonuses to army research.
Aviation Effort gives air experience, builds air bases, and research bonuses to air research.
Naval Effort gives navy experience, builds naval dockyards, and research bonuses to navy research.
Industrial Effort builds civilian and military factories (usually even if building slots are already full)and grants extra research slots.
Political Effort gives the country choices on which political path they will take.
