Description

Almaty is the largest city in Kazakhstan. It served as capital of the Kazakh state in its various forms from 1929 to 1997, under the influence of the then Soviet Union.

Almaty remains the major commercial and cultural centre of Kazakhstan, as well as its most populous and most cosmopolitan city.

Kazakhstan is the world's largest landlocked country, and the ninth largest in the world, with an area of 2,724,900 square kilometres (1,052,100 sq mi).

As it extends across both sides of the Ural River, considered the dividing line with the European continent, Kazakhstan is one of only two landlocked countries in the world that has territory in two continents (the other is Azerbaijan).

Kazakhstan shares borders with Russia, China, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan, and also adjoins a large part of the Caspian Sea.

The terrain of Kazakhstan includes flatlands, steppe, taiga, rock canyons, hills, deltas, snow-capped mountains, and deserts extends west to east from the Caspian Sea to the Altay Mountains and north to south from the plains of Western Siberia to the oases and deserts of Central Asia.

Kazakhstan was the last of the Soviet republics to declare independence during the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991.
