Kazakhstan ( Kazakh: Қазақстан, Qazaqstan; Russian: Казахстан, Kazakhstán), also spelled Kazakstan, is a country that stretches over a vast expanse of Asia and a former republic of the now extinct USSR. It has borders with Russia, the People's Republic of China, and countries of Central Asia, such as Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan and has a coastline on the Caspian Sea.

Kazakhstan is the ninth-largest country in the world by area, but its semi- deserts ( steppe) make it only the 57th country in population, with approximately 6 persons per sq km (16 per sq mi). Kazakhstan's population ranges from 15,143,704 (CIA World Factbook 2004) to 16,798,552 (Encarta Encyclopedia Online [2004]), depending on the source.
