History
• Kazakhstan was originally inhabited by nomadic tribes. In the 13th
century the land was invaded by the Mongol Empire and became
territories of the Kazakh Khanate. During this time the cities of
Taraz and Turkestan were established as trade cities along the
Great Silk Road. When the Kazakh Khanate began to break up in
the 1700s, the area began to be colonized by the Russian Empire.
After the fall of the Russian Empire, the Kazakhs experienced a
brief time of independence, but soon became part of the Soviet
Union. In 1953, Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev started the Virgin
Lands program. This was an effort to take Kasakhstan's agricultural
based economy and industrialize it.
In 1991 with the fall of the Soviet Union, Kazakhstan became an
independent nation. The country has since made great strides in
developing a market economy and has had strong economic
growth since 2000.

MONGOLIA
History
The Mongols constitute one of the principal ethnographic divisions of Asian
peoples. Their traditional homeland is centred in Mongolia—a vast plateau
in Central Asia now divided politically into an autonomous region of China (Inner
Mongolia) and the independent country Mongolia (historically called Outer
Mongolia)—which lies at the eastern end of what was throughout history a great
corridor of migration between northeastern China (historically called Manchuria)
and Hungary. Physical anthropologists in the 19th century introduced the
terms Mongol and Mongolian as descriptive of “racial type” even though the
Mongols exhibited a wide range of physical characteristics. Today the Mongols
are recognized as a group of peoples bound together by a common language and a
common nomadic tradition.
MONGOLIA
Location
Mongolia is located in Asia between Russia to the
north and China to the south. Situated on mountains
and plateaus, it is one of the world's highest countries
with elevation averaging 5,180 feet (1,580 meters).
Mongolia is 435 miles (700 kilometers) from the Yellow
Sea.
Geography
Its remarkable variety of scenery consists
largely of upland steppes, semideserts, and
deserts, although in the west and north
forested high mountain ranges alternate
with lake-dotted basins. Mongolia is largely a
plateau, with an average elevation of about
5,180 feet (1,580 metres) above sea level.
MONGOLIA
Natural Resources
Mongolia's economy, traditionally based on herding and
agriculture, has transformed into an economy focused more on
extractive industries, spurred on by significant investment in
Mongolia by foreign enterprises. Mongolia has extensive deposits
of copper, gold, coal, molybdenum, fluorsparr, uranium, tin,
and tungsten
Population
The current population of Mongolia is 3,417,743 as of Friday,
February 24, 2023, based on Worldometer elaboration of the latest
United Nations data. Mongolia 2020 population is estimated at
3,278,290 people at mid year according to UN data.
Capital
Ulaanbaatar is the capital of Mongolia. It’s in the Tuul River valley,
bordering the Bogd Khan Uul National Park
MONGOLIA
Economy Politics of Mongolia takes place
in a framework of a semi-presidential multi-
party representative democracy. Executive
power is exercised by the Prime Minister,
who is the head of government, and
the Cabinet. The President is the head of
state, but holds limited authority over the
executive branch of the government, unlike
full presidential republics like the United
States. Legislative power is vested in
parliament. The Judiciary is independent of
the executive and the legislature.
