Flag of Uzbekistan
The flag of Uzbekistan is composed of three equal horizontal bands of turquoise, white with red top and bottom edges, and green. On the hoist side of the turquoise band is a fly-side facing white crescent and twelve five-pointed white stars arranged just outside the crescent opening in three rows comprising three, four and five stars.
Where it is
Uzbekistan is grouped in Central Asia, within Roam’s Asia region. Its land-border list includes 5 countries in this atlas: Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan. It is landlocked.
Uzbekistan has a recorded area of 447,400 square kilometres. Among the 5 countries assigned to Central Asia in this dataset, it ranks 3 by area, from largest to smallest. Turkmenistan is immediately above it in that ordering, at 488,100 km². Kyrgyzstan is immediately below it, at 199,951 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 37,053,428 people for Uzbekistan 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 83 people per square kilometre. This calculated average does not describe how evenly people are distributed.
The language entries in the source are Russian and Uzbek. They describe the dataset’s listed languages, not every language spoken by residents. The currency listed for this date is Uzbekistani Som (UZS). Currency assignments are selected from Unicode CLDR’s date ranges for 23 October 2026; the three-letter codes identify currencies, not countries.
