I had to consult Bing Maps to find Kazakhstan.

Just one of seven "Stans," two "Rans," and one "Jan."

You must have never looked at a map of Asia.

Kazakhstan is one of the biggest countries in the world and larger than any country in Europe.

It is the 9th largest country in the world, and much larger than Iran, which I presume you have seen on the world map.

It is also larger than Alaska, the largest U.S. state.

Kazakhstan is also the largest landlocked country in the world.
