Kyrgyzstan (also known as
the Kyrgyz Republic, Kirghizia, or variations thereof) is a mountainous independent
state in Central Asia.
As a former Soviet republic, Kyrgyzstan shares many of the same cultural characteristics and legacies of other Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) countries.
As with the other CIS states, though, Kyrgyzstan retains its own unique blend of native cultures, ethnic minorities, and a long history of transitions and migrations.
