The fall of the dictatorship caused massive political instability in the country that is still ongoing to this day. Haiti's president serves as the head of state, and is elected by the people to serve for five years. Haiti also has a head of government (prime minister) who is selected by the president and has a two part Parliament called the National Assembly]]> 2022-02-01 13:08:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mbrooks106/zz4f787g437r63x0/wish/2023261504 https://padlet.com/mbrooks106/zz4f787g437r63x0/wish/2023263285 In 2010, an earthquake hit Haiti which claimed over 220,000 lives. Though the damage did not stop as 2,500 died as a result of cholera in the next months, and three years later since 2010, there were 350,000 people still living in camps without a home. A large number of Haiti's population is poor, so Haiti was much more susceptible to more death and the government struggled to help its citizens, relying on other countries or NGOs for help. ]]> 2022-02-01 13:09:26 UTC https://padlet.com/mbrooks106/zz4f787g437r63x0/wish/2023263285 https://padlet.com/mbrooks106/zz4f787g437r63x0/wish/2023264627 Only approximately 18.6% of the population of Nepal live in urban areas.

Nepal is currently a republic with a prime minister and a president. In 2013, a new interim government was sworn in to oversee elections. After the elections however, feuding factions failed to meet a January, 2015 deadline for a new constitution.

The school system itself is similar to the U.S. school system, having primary school (ages 6-12), a Middle school (ages 12-15), and a secondary school (ages 15-19).

Its culture takes influence from the countries and regions surrounding it, chiefly influential being India and Tibet. Despite having such a varied amount of ethnic groups, they are generally grouped into three categories, being Indo-Nepalese, Tibeto-Mongol, and indigenous Nepalese. These categorizations are based off of origin and their distribution, which is mostly vertical. The Indo-Nepalese live primarily in the lower plains of Nepal. The Tibeto-Mongol take mostly to the hills and higher regions than the Indo-Nepalese. The indigenous Nepalese are a much smaller group comprised of tribal communities and are remnants of previous indigenous tribes. The Indo-Nepalese generally dominates the culture, politics, and economy of Nepal. They have superior formal education and technology compared to the other two groups and also outnumber them.]]> 2022-02-01 13:27:32 UTC https://padlet.com/mbrooks106/zz4f787g437r63x0/wish/2023295188 https://padlet.com/mbrooks106/zz4f787g437r63x0/wish/2023295407 Haiti has a very rich history, with the arrival of Christopher Columbus in 1492, buccaneers using the island of Tortue (Tortuga) as a hub for piracy, a slave rebellion against the French rule, and a long war with Napoleon and the French army.]]> 2022-02-01 13:27:39 UTC https://padlet.com/mbrooks106/zz4f787g437r63x0/wish/2023295407 https://padlet.com/mbrooks106/zz4f787g437r63x0/wish/2023296388 In india Hindi is the language most spoken.Hindi belongs to the Indo Aryan Languages family, which represents the largest of the language families in terms of speakers.

During the monsoon season, flooding is very common due to the heavy rainfall which also leads to landslides. On the opposite end during the dry season, droughts cause massive crop failure and can even cause fires in some areas due to houses having thatched roofs. Nepal is in the Himalayas, causing it to very seismically active due to the presence of faults and thrusts. The earliest known example of an earthquake in Nepal happened in 1255 A.D. and the latest one happened in 2015 which killed nearly 9,000 people. ]]> 2022-02-01 13:34:32 UTC https://padlet.com/mbrooks106/zz4f787g437r63x0/wish/2023309179 https://padlet.com/mbrooks106/zz4f787g437r63x0/wish/2023311316 Nepal is one of the poorest countries in the world, and is built on agriculture and tourism, being that it shares Mount Everest with the adjacent Tibet. It has had very little economic investment due to political infighting, but there is untapped potential for hydroelectric power due to fast flowing runoff from the Himalayas. High scale earthquakes in 2015 disrupted and set back the economy, and protests quickly following slowed down recovery and economic reform. It also experiences problems with it being landlocked and very limited transportation infrastructure.
