Detailed Country Guide
Overview and identity
Kyrgyzstan, officially listed here as Kyrgyz Republic, is structured as a practical country reference guide for users searching country facts, maps, flags, codes, and daily-use data. The page should make Kyrgyzstan, KG, KGZ, the flag, the official name, and the country slug easy to confirm because users often land on country pages while checking identifiers for forms, travel, education, or data products. Kyrgyzstan is grouped under Asia, more specifically Central Asia, with Asia shown as the continent context.
Geography and population scale
The country dataset records a population of 7,400,000 people and a land area of 199,951 square kilometers, which gives an approximate density of 37 people per square kilometer. The main coordinate reference is 41, 75, while the capital coordinate reference is 42.87, 74.6. Kyrgyzstan shares listed land borders with CHN, KAZ, TJK, UZB, and the landlocked value is recorded as yes. These details help the page answer common searches around location, area, borders, map position, and population comparison.
Capital and urban network
The capital information is recorded as Bishkek (primary). The largest city entries shown for this country are Bishkek, Osh, Jalal-Abad, Karakol and Balykchy. Including cities alongside country-level facts helps the guide answer searches such as largest cities in Kyrgyzstan, capital of Kyrgyzstan, and major urban areas in Kyrgyzstan. This is useful because many users compare the official capital with the largest business, transport, or population centers.
Government, classification, and memberships
The government type is listed as Unitary presidential republic. The classification fields mark sovereignty as yes, United Nations membership as yes, observer status as no, and disputed status as no. International memberships shown for this page include United Nations. These fields support search intent around political status, country classification, and international organization membership.
Administrative formats and daily-use data
Kyrgyzstan uses calling code +996, postal format ######, and time zone data listed as UTC+06:00. The number format uses . as the thousands separator and , as the decimal separator. The week starts on monday; the academic year starts around Sep 1; the government fiscal year starts around Jan 1; and the personal fiscal year starts around Jan 1.
Currency, language, transport, and references
Currency data lists KGS - Kyrgyzstani som (с), while language records include Kyrgyz and Russian. Vehicle data records the driving side as right and vehicle sign codes as KS. Reference links should keep official, Wikipedia, Google Maps, and OpenStreetMap sources together when available so users can move from the structured country guide to map or source pages quickly. The latest Gini entry in the dataset is 27.5 for 2024.
How to use this profile
This Kyrgyzstan profile is designed to be scanned in layers: first the name, official name, flag, capital, population, area, and density; then identity, geography, cities, governance, memberships, formats, connectivity, currency, languages, transport, and references. That structure supports both human readers and product workflows where users need to verify a phone code, compare cities, inspect fiscal dates, check postal formats, review memberships, or open a map reference without searching across multiple pages.
