Five times the size of France and half the size of the United States, Kazakhstan is the second largest state in the Commonwealth of Independent States, and is bordered by the Russian Federation to the north and west. The Caspian Sea, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan to the south-west. Kyrgyzstan to the south and China to the south-east.
The Republic of Kazakhstan boasts a vast diversity of terrain, with 90% of the country being made up of steppe, the sand massives of the Kara Kum and the vast desert of Kizilkum, while in the south-east of the country the mountains of the Tien Shan and the Altai form a great natural frontier with tens of thousands of lakes and rivers. The Aral Sea and Lake Balkhash are the country's largest expanses of water.
