On May 28, 2008, the newly elected Constituent Assembly in Nepal made a historic decision to abolish the 240-year-old monarchy. This historic decision marked the end of the reign of the Shah dynasty, which had ruled Nepal since its unification by Prithvi Narayan Shah in 1768. The Constituent Assembly declared Nepal a Federal Democratic Republic, and King Gyanendra, the final monarch, was given 15 days to vacate the Narayanhity Royal Palace.
