I was always told and believed that Nepal is one of the poorest countries in the world. Looking at this figure (
https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/rankorder/2001rank.html) I am proud to say that we are richer than more than 50% of this world's nations in terms of GDP at no. 104 (if we leave out the per capita income calculation) just like China is the second richest and India the sixth richest. Who knows Nepal might become much richer through the influence of its rich neighbours, just like the poor European Nations are, at the moment.
