Bhutan: His Majesty Jigme Singye Wangchuck (11 November 1955 -), 4th Druk Gyalpo or 'Dragon King' (r. 1972-2006), c. 1972. Jigme Singye Wangchuck was the 4th Druk Gyalpo of Bhutan, ruling from 1972 until he abdicated in 2006 in favour of his eldest son, Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck. He continued the modernisation and democratisation initiatives of his father, and most importantly advocated the use of a 'Gross National Happiness' index to measure the well-being of Bhutanese citizens rather than using Gross Domestic Product.
