The Republic of Uzbekistan is a country in Central Asia, formerly of the Soviet Union. It shares borders with ► Kazakhstan to the west and to the north, ► Kyrgyzstan and ► Tajikistan to the east, and ► Afghanistan and ► Turkmenistan to the south. This gives Uzbekistan a status shared only with Europe's Liechtenstein in that it is doubly landlocked, that is, it is surrounded entirely by other landlocked states.
