ya sounds good. that should ultimately decrease the monarch power. However, about the flag, have you guys noticed that the moon is higher than the sun. Symbologically, doesn't it seem a little unnatural? The sun always starts the day. The sun is what the gives warmth and the food (photosynthesis, even if ancient ppl didn't know this they definitely knew that sunlight was essential for plants to grow.) I remember hearing that this position of the sun and the moon shows the victory of chandrabamsi (all of us) over the suryabamsis like several centuries ago. And chandrabamsis (aka we) made the flag to stamp our victory which eventually ended up as the Nepali flag. And I think the historians did an impromptu sa-prasanga byakhya about the colors on the flag. Still it is a beautiful flag.
