A marker pin sits at the country’s approximate geographic centre; drag the map or use scroll and pinch to move from a regional overview down to the streets of Astana. The map is drawn from OpenStreetMap data, the same open dataset used across this site, so place names, roads and coastlines stay consistent from one country to the next.

Kazakhstan spans 2 time zones, from UTC+05:00 to UTC+06:00, reflecting the spread of its territory across the globe. Each is expressed as an offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC); where a country covers several zones, the official local time can differ from one part of it to another.

The official currency is the Kazakhstani tenge (KZT, ₸).

The official languages are Kazakh and Russian, which is what appears on signs, documents and many of the place labels you will see on the map.
