Peace in Nepal

It's finally happened. After 10 years of conflict, there is finally a peace deal. between the Maoists and the Government of the Kingdom of Nepal, the world's only Hindu country. The country may be getting a new name soon judging by the sentiment's of the people:
''The government has declared it a national day of celebration,'' said Tourism Minister Pradeep Gyawali, a member of the government negotiating team.

In the capital of Katmandu, thousands gathered in the heart of the city, waving banners and chanting slogans in celebration.

''Victory is ours! Long live people's democracy and peaceful Nepal!'' chanted the participants.

In the southern city of Bharatpur, hundreds gathered and chanted, ''Let there be permanent peace! No more autocracy! No more dictatorship!''

Potential new names for Nepal:
The People's Democracy and Peaceful Nepal
The Momo Republic of Nepal
The Democratic Republic Kingdom of Nepal
The Mountainous Republic of Nepal
The Piss Poor Land of Nepal
The Magic Kingdom of Nepal
