Kyrgyzstan

The capital is Bishkek.

They have thousands of lakes, over 400 rivers and canals, and 88 mountain ranges and forests, most of which are untouched by humans.

They have the second-largest salt lake in the world other than lake Titicaca located in South America. Since of its salinity and hot springs all around Kyrgyzstan, it never freezes in the winter months.

They have the 6th largest nonpolar glacier in the world dubbed "Inylchek".

And they also have the world's largest walnut forest at around 27,000 acres of land of just walnut trees.

Kyrgyzstan is also a massive well of untapped green energy, and they have so much green energy from Hydroelectric dams that they have to export it to their neighboring countries since they can't store it all in Kyrgyzstan.

Also, mining is important here, as they have the last surviving Mercury mine (which if ingested through the mouth or inhaled can kill you, as Emperor Qin Shi Huang got killed by mercury poisoning, and they export gold.

A population of 6 million.

Som as their currency and it is one of the only countries that have the denomination of 3 as part of their currency.

They were part of the Soviet empire, so Russian is their official language.
