Nepal, which is officially known as the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal, is situated in South Asia and is recognized as the world’s newest republic. The nation is surrounded by the Republic of India to the south, east, and west, and the People’s Republic of China to the north. It is the 93rd largest country globally, with an area of 147,181 square kilometres and a population of approximately 30 million, making it the 41st most populous nation. The country’s capital city is Kathmandu, which is also the largest metropolitan city. Nepal is a country that possesses diverse geography, culture, and religions. Its northern region consists of eight of the world’s ten highest mountains, including Mount Everest, while the southern region is heavily urbanized and fertile. Nepal has the greatest proportion of Hindus in its population globally, and despite being a minority faith in the country, Buddhism is linked historically with Nepal as the birthplace of Siddhartha Gautama. Almost half of Nepal’s population lives below the international poverty line of US$1.25 per day. Nepalese people have a reputation for bravery and honesty, which can be traced back to the early 19th century when Gurkhas of Nepal were recruited in the colonial British Army in India. Over 300 thousand Nepalese people enter the employment market each year, and their reputation for honesty, hard work, and dedication continues to this day. Nepalese workers are employed not only by the British and Indian armies but also in various fields at different capacities internationally, with almost 75% of them working in Middle Eastern countries. Although they work in different countries, their honesty and hard work are the common traits shared by Nepalese workers. Many young people try their future in foreign employment every year to attain a better living standard, and the government of Nepal has opened about four dozen countries for foreign employment, making documentation hassles less as foreign employment is a priority of government policy.
