        The collapse of the Soviet Union created 15 new states.  These
states over the last 5 years have all struggled with economic, ethnic,
political and territorial problems left to them by the Soviet empire.
Kyrgyzstan, is a former Soviet Republic (FSR) located in the Central
Asia.  This paper will give a statistical representation of the state,
Kyrgyzstan. The statistical data will reflect the basic geography of the
subject country containing  population, size and location.    This
miniature report will also contain brief descriptions of current

        Kyrgyzstan is located in the southern area of the former Soviet
Union.  Its boarders are defined by China to the east (& South),
Kazakhstan to the north (& Northwest), Uzbekistan directly west and
Tajikistan to the south (& Southwest).  Kyrgyzstan features 76,641
square miles of land, which consisted of .9% of the former USSR's
land-mass.  The land is  primarily used for pastoral purposes.  Only 7%
of the farmable land is cultivated.

suppressed by Soviet Interior Ministry troops.  This clash outlined
political and economic problems present in Kyrgyzstan even when the USSR
was still existent.  These ethnic clashes in Oh served to cement
political groups who were organizing outside of the communist party
