Covering much of present day Turkmenistan, the Karakum Desert lies east of the Caspian Sea, with the Aral Sea to the north and the Amu Darya river and the Kyzyl Kum desert to the northeast. In modern times, with the shrinking of the Aral Sea, the extended “Aral Karakum” has appeared on the former seabed, with an estimated area of 15,440 sq.

Top Ten: Negara-negara Yang Tidak Diakui

Sebuah micronation atau negara mini adalah mereka yang menyatakan dirinya negara berdaulat.  Meskipun mereka mengklaim kedaulatan dan sering tidak dicampuri oleh lembaga pemerintah yang lebih besar, namun mereka tidak diakui sebagai negara merdeka resmi (ini yang membedakan mereka dari negara mikro seperti Vatikan atau Singapura).
