What's the net immigration flow between different pairs of countries on that list? Which of those countries have the most restrictions on (a) emigration or (b) immigration?

After edit, from the article:

"GNH rests on four pillars of value:

environmental conservation;

cultural preservation and promotion;

sustainable and equitable development;

and good governance, including the development of active and responsible citizenship."

I find it very hard to disagree with "good governance" as a goal, being a descendant of Americans who lived at the time of the Declaration of Independence. But I wonder what "cultural preservation and promotion" might mean in relation to (1) techological innovation (surely a concern of the hackers here), (2) religious dissent (another value cherished by my American ancestors), and (3) foreign policy with neighboring countries?
