Mongolia is a country in Central and East Asia. The country is bordered to the north by the autonomous republics of Altai, Tuva and Buryatia, all members of the Russian Federation. It is also bordered to the north by the Transbaikal Krai and to the south by the autonomous region of Inner Mongolia, which belongs to China. Mongolia has been a democracy since 1990.

The country is situated on the Mongolian Plateau and has a continental climate with tundra and steppe areas in the north, mountainous areas (Altai) in the centre, and desert (Gobi) in the south. About a third of the population, mostly Buddhist, lives in the capital Ulaanbaatar. The rural population lives predominantly nomadically in traditional felt tents, yurts, and provides for its needs by raising livestock; sheep, horses and camels are kept in free-roaming herds. In the north of the country there is some industry in the form of timber processing and mining. Over 80% of the population belongs to the ethnic group of the Khalkha Mongols.
