A country where the total population is around 1.3 million, but 63 per cent of its people are still below the poverty line. That is, they do not have money to eat full food nor clothes to wear. But the king here has the property of billions and this property is increasing day by day. This king lives a life of luxury. The name of this country is 'The Kingdom of Iswatini', which was earlier known as Swaziland. In the year 2018, after the completion of 50 years of the independence of the country, the King Maswati III announced to change its name. The stories of this country are very unique.

Every year in this country, 'Umhlanga Ceremony' festival takes place in the royal village of the Queen's mother, Ludjigini, in the month of August-September, in which more than 10,000 unmarried girls are involved. In this festival, virgin girls dance in front of the king. According to the report of National Geographic, out of these girls, Raja chooses his new queen. The shocking thing is that these girls dance in front of the king and all the subjects without any clothes. Iswatini also has many peculiar rules and regulations. It is said that if girls become pregnant before marriage, then their family is fined. They have to give a cow as a penalty. Maswati III, the king of Iswatini, took power here in April 1986.
