Tell me about these countries /pol/.
(In a political basis, not culturally.)

Weak, corrupt, lots of mafia
They always kill me in those 'name the countries' games. I got Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan down by now but holy fuck I can't ever spell fucking Tajiikistan or Kyrgyzstan.

What little I think I know about Kazakhstan, is from Borat.
"In my country there is problem, and that problem is transport"
kazakhstan is huge.

/pol/itically they are run like tribes. Seriously.
You have a ruling elite that is of one tribe. They try to bring everyone in from their tribe to power: generals, ministers, clerks, you name it.
Tribes switch places ever so often. Ever so often through violence. On the topic of violence central Asia is brutal. They will start a fight over nothing for the sake of dominance, and their street fights are majestically brutal. Which is not helped by the fact that everyone there is trained in some form of martial art (Wrestling, boxing, and sambo being king). Seriously, you don't want to get into street fight in central Asia.
Religion does play a role although I would hesitate to say that religion is the driving force behind any political movement.
They hate gays and degeneracy more out of habit than out of political agenda. Again, culture being the driving force behind politics.
Political will is in keeping power and benefits that power provides within the tribe.
Kazahstan is different to a point due to it having a large portion of Russian and German blood. Kazahstan is the closest thing to a Western style country amongst those

I stared at your post for a very long unable to understand what you were implying.
Fuck, swimming does make me tired.

Politically they are too weak to be relevant.
They are playthings of Russia and China.

What is the story behind the division of the states and their modern borders?
>>57532302
Stalin being retarded. He is also responsible for Ukraine issue.
>>57532302
It's a difficult question because, as I mentioned, the lands are ruled by various tribes. Ideally, you'd leave them to redraw their own borders because the whole place is a mess in a very peaceful and retarded way.
Soviets did what any half sane expansionist would do when they looked at these tribes, they bunched them all together roughly by territory the occupied because they all look and act absolutely the same.

> Ukraine issue
How do you mean? Ukraine practically has no history aside from being a province of Russia, Prussia, and Poland ( not only Rzeczpospolita)
The Aral Sea isn't nearly that large
A bunch of shitholes the rest of the world give zero fucks about, mostly run by nutjobs
>>57532908
Yeah he gave Ukraine lands more than they should, just because of that reason.
Kyrgyzstan has some shit about pipelines and road ways between Russia and China. Tajikistan is basically Russian Afghanistan (as in, there's nothing there). Turkmenistan is all about competing with Azerbaijan about oil, despite Azerbaijan pretty much building roads on top of the water (find pictures). Kazakhstan was so influenced by Russia a fair bit of them are European, possibly an almost Europeanised country.
Most of that region is desert and southern steppe, so there's really not a lot there.
I saw a Kyrgyzstan shitposter the other day. Did i help?
