In more recent times Shah kings claimed also to embody national unity in their own person. Since the 19th century, Nepal has experiences the autocracy of the Ranas, a first experiment with parliamentarianism, guided partyless democracy led by the king, multi-party constitutional monarchy finally reversed by massive street ptotests, a ten year peoplewar launched by the Maoists in 1996 followed by a peace process.
