About Bhutan

The Bhutanese have always been an independent country despite their small standing army of just 16,000 soldiers. Bhutan has no navy or air force. The currency used here is the Ngultrum (BTN). The Bhutanese Flag is divided into two halves from top right to bottom left, one orange and one yellow with a dragon in the middle.
