Kyrgyzstan
Capital - Bishkek
- Landlocked country, bordered by Kazakhstan to the north, Uzbekistan to the west, Tajikistan to the southwest and China to the east
- Independence day 31 August 1991 (from the Soviet Union)
Fun Facts
- the world's largest natural-growth walnut forest (2005)
- 80% of the country is covered by Tian Shan mountains so is occasionally referred to as "the Switzerland of Central Asia". Valleys and basins covers the remaining portion.
- Lake Issyk-Kul is the largest lake in Kyrgyzstan and the second largest mountain lake in the world after Titicaca
