Flag of Kyrgyzstan

Where it is
Kyrgyzstan is grouped in Central Asia, within Roam’s Asia region. Its land-border list includes 4 countries in this atlas: China, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan. It is landlocked.
Kyrgyzstan has a recorded area of 199,951 square kilometres. Among the 5 countries assigned to Central Asia in this dataset, it ranks 4 by area, from largest to smallest. Uzbekistan is immediately above it in that ordering, at 447,400 km². Tajikistan is immediately below it, at 143,100 km². This comparison uses the source’s area figures and subregions, not a ranking of all territories.
The marker shows the atlas location. Small countries may be too small for an outline at this scale. Map boundaries are illustrative.
People, languages and currency
The World Bank records 7,343,064 people for Kyrgyzstan in 2025. This is the latest non-empty annual observation in Roam’s committed 2020–2025 download, rather than a live population counter. Dividing that population by the source area gives approximately 37 people per square kilometre. This calculated average does not describe how evenly people are distributed.
The language entries in the source are Kyrgyz and Russian. They describe the dataset’s listed languages, not every language spoken by residents. The currency listed for this date is Kyrgystani Som (KGS). Currency assignments are selected from Unicode CLDR’s date ranges for 23 October 2026; the three-letter codes identify currencies, not countries.
