The Kyrgyz Republic, or Kyrgyzstan, is a mountainous country in central Asia, west of China and sharing borders with China, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. The population is about 5.5 million people. Kyrgyzstan’s government is a parliamentary republic with a president as chief of state and a prime minister as head of government.
In 1876, what is now Kyrgyzstan, was incorporated into the Russian empire. The country gained independence in August 1991 with the collapse of the USSR. In 2005, flawed elections and economic concerns created popular discontent with the government and the presidency. Since 2005, a succession of leaders followed until stability returned in 2011.
However, continuing concerns include political and economic corruption, tense relations between ethnic groups, terrorist threats, and unstable border security. The country still copes with slow economic growth due to the global financial crisis and the decline of oil prices.
The tourism sector is not well developed. However, Kyrgyzstan is known for remarkable, unspoiled natural beauty. There are opportunities for outdoor activities, such as camping and trekking.
