Until 2006, Nepal, with over eighty percent of its population Hindu, was officially a Hindu state, the only one in the world. On May 18, 2006, Nepal was declared a secular state. On December 28, 2007, the interim parliament passed a bill and declared Nepal to be a federal democratic republic.[3] The current king, Gyanendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev, will be the last king of Nepal if the present ruling parties win the April 2008 elections.
