https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BhutanOne of the world's only two Tibetan Buddhist majority states - and the only one that hasn't had the go through the experience of Communist dictatorship. It is often portrayed as something of a Shangri-La in the west and the King is known for promoting 'Gross National Happiness' rather than Gross National Product and has many other aspects which, according to stereotypes, appeal to the sort of people who only buy their food from the organic section in farmers' markets. Archery is the national sport and television was only introduced here in 1999. Yet it is also oppressive especially towards the Hindu Nepali minority, many of whom have left the country and in the early 2000s shared military operations with India over Bodoland separatists. It is very worried about being absorbed into India (consider the size difference between the two countries). Its government thus has sought wide international recognition and friendship going as far as to lie to the United Nations about the size of the population in order to gain admission (given that Nauru is there, they needn't have bothered). It remains internally, however, very secretive and only allows very few tourists in each year. Therefore the state remains somewhat shrouded in mystery.
Below is a map of the Tibetan Empire at the height of its powers in the 8th Century. Although it is not shown on the map Bhutan is supposedly independent at this point (although nobody really knows, Bhutanese history being a mystery at this point). Needless to say though, Tibet has had a big influence on the development of Buddhism in Bhutan.
