Autocracy followed by a Maoist revolution isn't a path to success either.

Don't know what you're getting at. There's no autocracy in Nepal (at least not yet). The Maoists won a free and fair election (Socialism is just that popular here). At most the country is super-duper and insanely socialistic, with government owning multiple large monopolies. Unless you call yourself a "socialist" you won't be winning any elections here. Unfortunately there is no pro-business/capitalistic political party in Nepal and that is what I sincerely believe is lacking here.
The civil war only 15 years ago between the Monarchy and the Socialists.

China has a heavy influence in Nepal, and the tourist trade gives everyone a bad taste for Western anything.
