Republic of Turkmenistan is rather big country in Asia. It has an area 491200 sq.km. and population about 5500000. Ashgabat is the capital of this country. Turkmenistan was the member of USSR until October 27 1991 and than became an independent state. The basis of the economy of Turkmenistan - production and sale of oil and gas. So Republic of Turkmenistan is a country with rich representatives of elite and the poor population. It is absolutely not democratic country. Elite of Turkmenistan - is a modern feudal "lords" in fact. I would say that this country is one of the most non-democratic countries in the world.
