Nepal has been declared a Republic. It's the end of a Dynasty of Hindu Kings that ruled Nepal for 239 years.
The newly elected Political Counsel wants to start a new democracy in this way.
The Parliament, with the Maoists as the biggest fraction voted with an overwhelming 560 to 4 to end the Monarchy.
King Gyanendra has 15 days time to leave the palace and the country, otherwise he will get some unfriendly help from the army.
Nepal is one of the poorest countries in Asia and tourism is the main industry, so peace and stability are more than welcome.
