Nepal

Origins and formation

The Kingdom of Nepal, also called the Gorkha Empire, was a Hindu monarchy in South Asia from 1768 to 2008. It was formed by the expansion of the Gorkha kingdom under Prithvi Narayan Shah of the Shah dynasty. The guide places Nepal high in the Himalaya, joining highland Buddhists and lowland Hindus, and says that despite the terrain it kept its sovereignty. The kingdom page gives the dates of that monarchy. The religious geography is the guide’s sentence. This essay does not invent a census of either community.^{[1] [3]}

The early nineteenth century on the kingdom page includes Bhimsen Thapa as de facto ruler from 1806 to 1837, after the return and death of Rana Bahadur Shah and the Bhandarkhal massacre of 1806. The guide says the nineteenth-century state was governed by autocratic families and guarded by Gurkha soldiers, and that an agreement with Britain left them a degree of independence on the roof of the world. The checked agreement is the Treaty of Sugauli.^{[1] [2] [3]}

Defining periods

The Treaty of Sugauli, signed on March 4, 1816, between the East India Company and the Kingdom of Nepal, established much of Nepal’s modern border. It followed the Anglo-Nepalese War of 1814–16. Nepal was represented by Guru Gajraj Mishra. The published Great Britain essay is that company’s imperial state, including Plassey in 1757. Sugauli is a later treaty with a Himalayan kingdom, not the conquest of Bengal, and Nepal did not become a British town because the company signed it. The link is the company. The states stay separate.^[2]

The guide’s soldiers are Gurkhas, and its scout is a Sherpa who can move on mountains and on Mount Everest and place a highland power station. The treaty page does not describe Everest logistics. A scout who ignores mountain movement is a rule. The war of 1814–16 is not that movement.^{[2] [3]}

Legacy and interpretation

The kingdom lasted until 2008. That end is far past the 1816 border and past the guide’s picture of a nineteenth-century bargain. A modern-age civilization can hold both only if the dates stay visible. Sovereignty in the guide is the survival of independence after the agreement. The kingdom page’s span, 1768 to 2008, includes the 1792 war in Tibet and the monarchy’s end, which this essay does not narrate year by year. Naming the span is not narrating every reign.^{[1] [2]}

Boudhanath is the guide’s wonder. These pages do not date that stupa or describe its ritual. A wonder that improves relations with every leader is a diplomacy rule. It is not the signature of Guru Gajraj Mishra.^{[2] [3]}

A closer look

Roof of the World lets warehouse buildings apply to mountain tiles and, in the modern age, adds tourism from unique improvements on mountains. The maintenance cost is a yield. The historical problem on these pages is a border drawn in 1816 and a monarchy that began in 1768. Working a mountain tile is not that border. The 1792 expedition into Tibet, which the kingdom page places under Bahadur Shah and which ended in negotiation after Nuwakot, is another use of the mountains. It is not a Sherpa claim on an unowned peak, and it is not the Sugauli line. Three mountain stories are easy to stack: a war in Tibet, a border treaty with the company, and a scout who ignores slope. Only the second has a signed date on the treaty page. The first is a campaign that turned into talks. The third is a unit. Keeping them apart is the whole reason the Great Britain essay and this one are linked and still not the same state.^{[1] [2] [3]}

The guide says Gurkhas guard the state. The military unit uses that name and is more expensive to train. Expense is a rule. The treaty does not set a training cost. This essay does not write a regimental history from a unit tooltip. The Anglo-Nepalese War lasted from 1814 to 1816 and ended in a border, not in annexation. That is why the kingdom page can continue the monarchy until 2008 while the guide can still speak of a degree of independence. Independence here means the state was not absorbed. It does not mean the border was unchanged, because Sugauli is precisely a border treaty. A reader who treats “roof of the world” as untouched sovereignty has skipped March 4, 1816.^{[2] [3]}

In Civilization VII

The English guide names the ability Roof of the World, the improvement Highland Power Station, the civilian Sherpa, the infantry Gurkha, and the wonder Boudhanath. The simplified Chinese guide names the same slots in its own words. The apex age is Modern, which is the codex age. The Chinese guide writes that apex with its word for the modern age. The page places Nepal in the paid Crossroads of the World Collection. Yields stay on the guide. There is no second civilization hiding in the mountains.^{[3] [4]}

The published Great Britain essay is the empire and the company. The first step back from the mountain bonus is to keep 1768, the war of 1814–16, the treaty of March 4, 1816, and the monarchy’s end in 2008 as separate marks.^{[1] [2] [3]}

Thapa’s years, 1806 to 1837, overlap the war and the treaty and continue after the border was signed. A de facto ruler through a massacre, a war, and a treaty is not the same office as Prithvi Narayan Shah’s foundation in 1768, and neither office is a Sherpa placing a power station. The guide’s “autocratic families” can point at that kind of court. It cannot point at every decade from 1768 to 2008 with one family name. The kingdom page’s early nineteenth century is one cluster. The end of the monarchy is another. Readers who want the company as an empire should open the Great Britain essay and then come back to Guru Gajraj Mishra’s signature, which is a Nepali name on a company treaty, not a British peerage.^{[1] [2]}
