Kazakhstan
Kazakhstan, a country in Central Asia (south of Russia and northwest of China), home of the Kazakhstanis, is a largely populated country with a rich history that has begun to decline because of contamination by infections and disease during the shrinking of the Aral Sea and nuclear contamination, which has led to numerous diseases. They are home to a very famous rocket launch site and it has a rich cultural and religious diversity amongst its people. The Kazakh people are more than hospitable in that children are taught values of peace and tolerance, which has led to the absence of religious conflicts and a strong economy. They love the art of words and the art of music through their poems and their numerous musical instruments. Something very astonishing, according to recent estimates, is that the country of Kazakhstan is four times the size of the state of Texas. One of the most interesting things about Kazakhstan is the fact that the first manned space flight was in 1961 from Baykonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. This was done by a Russian cosmonaut named Yuryi Gagarin. This space flight was done from the largest and first space launch in history. Historians claim, but it is still unknown, that the Kazakhs were the first people to ride a horse.
The country of Kazakhstan is located in Central Asia with its capital as Astana. For its size, Kazakhstan has quite a large population of almost seventeen million people of numerous ethnic cultures, putting them at the 62nd largest population in the world. Although the two main ethnicities are Kazakh and Russian, many people come from Ukrainian, Uzbek, and German cultures. Like many other countries, they have cold winters and very hot summers, but much of their land is arid, desert-like. What is vastly different from other countries is that the people of Kazakhstan mostly speak Kazakh (64% of the population), while many others speak Russian. Though there is a vast cultural diversity amongst its people,
