Country people have to look up when they here the name...
...independant since 1991 when the USSR broke up. Key towns include Tashkent (the capital), the fabled Samarkand (Samarqand) and Bukhara (Buxoro). Genghis Khan invaded the area and later it gave rise to it's own bloody thirsty conquerer and national hero Tarmerlane (Timur Lange).
Some tourists do go there, normally heading for Samarkand (Registan Square or 'Reggies Place', Bib Qanum Mosque, Ulug Beg's observatory), Bukhara (the 'Ark' fortress) and Khiva (or Xiva - one of the most complete medieval moslem towns in the world).
Mainly Sunni Moslem since the Arabs invaded before Genghis Khan and kicked out the Buddhists, Zoroastrians and Nestorian Christians. Some Russian Orthodox Christians still around. Generally peaceful these days apart from a few hardliner Commies and Islamists committing the odd misdeed. Maily Uzbeks, with a few Tajiks, Russians and a tiny number of Koreans (don't ask how they got there - last local reminant of Buddhism).
By the way, 'X' in Uzbek is 'Kh' and 'K' keeps getting replaced by 'Q' in their alphabet.

Get the world of werbo mug.a truely vile surprise. heres how it works. first, take a glass jar (must be glass). make sure its got big enough of an opening to accept a leg or breast of chicken. next, get uncooked chicken parts and milk. it helps if the milk has alredy gone bad. combine milk and chicken in the glass jar until you cant fit anymore and its about to overflow. next, tightly secure the top onto the glass jar. now, discretely place the bomb in the heating ducts of a home or apartment. this is most effective after getting evicted or you catch your gurlfriend cheating on you. the next step is to simply wait. it may take time, so be patient. what happens is after repeated exposure to heat and pressure, the glass will eventually break or the top will pop off. if you can only find a rather thick jar you may want to poke a small hole into the top to ensure the smell gets released. after this happens, the most vile stench is released throughout the home, creating a constant unbareable smell that only gets worse every time the heat goes on. milk chicken bombs, when made and dispensed properly, have been known to make a home unliveable.

Those are some killer boobies-- you'd better be careful or you're going to get hurt if you try to handle them.
