Also known as QAZAQSTAN, the Republic of KAZAKHSTAN is a large, former Soviet Republic located in Central Asia, bordering 5 countries: China, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. The western part of the country is in Europe. There are a couple of well-known bodies of water that border this country: the Caspian Sea, which is actually a large lake; and the Aral Sea, a lake that is shrinking at a rapid rate. The capital of Kazakhstan is Astana. Almaty, Kazakhstan's most populated city as of 2024, served as the country's first capital after independence in the 1990s. Kazakhstan's currency is the Kazakhstani Tenge; the ISO 4217 currency code is KZT.
