geography quiz # 1

From Wikipedia: Kazakhstan, also spelled Kazakstan (Kazakh: ?????????, Qazaqstan, IPA: [q?z?q'st?n]; Russian: ?????????, Kazakhstán, IPA: [k?z?x'stan]), officially the Republic of Kazakhstan, is a country that stretches over a vast expanse of northern and central Eurasia. Its territory of 2,717,300 km² (bigger than Western Europe), the ninth largest in the world, is partially located to the west of the Ural River in eastern-most Europe. Prior to full independence, Kazakhstan existed as the Kazakh SSR in the Soviet Union. It is now a member of the Commonwealth of Independent States, bordering Russia, the People's Republic of China, and the Central Asian countries Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan, with a coastline on the Caspian Sea. Kazakhstan is the ninth-largest country in the world by area, but it is only the 62nd country in population with fewer than 6 people per square kilometre (15 per sq. mi.). The population in 2006 is estimated at 15,300,000, down from 16,464,464 in 1989,[1] due to the emigration of ethnic Russians and Volga Germans. Much of the country's land consists of semi-desert (steppe) terrain.

The flag belongs to Kazahstan. Not from Wikipedia, but from my own knowledge.
