Borat don't even know where your country is located. Not in Southeast Asia but Central Asia, northwest of China, a small portion west of the Ural River in eastern-most Europe. Jeeeesh.

Thanks Will.
We had a great past before the Mongol's invasion - flourishing culture, city-states along the famous Silk Road trade route, it was the craddle of several Asian civilizations, including Turkey, Japan and others. Then the Mongols in the 11th century almost totally destroyed my country until it started to rise again to be conquered by the Russians during the 17th-18th century when it became a part of the Russian Empire. But Kazakhs managed to retain their national identity. We regained our independance in 1992. So, we are a new country and that's why very few people know about us in the West. But in time it will change, I am sure.
Thank you.
