The Russian Federation alone covers 17.1 million km , which is almost 13% of the total area of the world. Kazakhstan, with an area of 2.7 million km , covers 2% of the total area of the world, while the remaining 13 countries combined also cover 2% of the total area of the world.

About 32% of the total population of the countries of the FSU is rural, compared with 54% for the whole world, varying from 24% in the Russian Federation to 54% in Central Asia. About 17% of the economically active population is engaged in agriculture, compared with 47% for the whole world, varying from 12% in the Russian Federation to 30% in Central Asia. This reflects the importance of agriculture in Central Asia, while industry is largely predominant in the northern regions of the FSU. The population density is 13 inhabitants/km

    http://www.umid.uz/Main/Uzbekistan/General_Info/general_info.html
    
    Extractions: Uzbekistan, republic in Central Asia, bordered on the west and north by Kazakhstan, on the east by Kyrgyzstan, on the southeast by Tajikistan, and on the south by Afghanistan and Turkmenistan. It was formerly the Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic (SSR) of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). Uzbekistan includes the Karakalpak Autonomous Republic, which occupies about 37 percent of Uzbekistan's territory. Uzbekistan's land area totals about 447,400 sq. km (about 172,750 sq. mi). Tashkent is the capital and chief industrial and cultural center. Uzbekistan's terrain is composed primarily of plains such as the Turan Lowland; plains occupy about four-fifths of the republic's territory. Branches of the Tien Shan and Pamir mountains rise in the east and northeast, with the highest elevation in the republic reaching 4643 m (about 15,234 ft). Earthquakes, such as the one that destroyed large portions of Tashkent in 1966, are not uncommon. The climate is desert continental; temperatures fluctuate greatly over the course of a year. Average daily temperature in January ranges from -6° to 2° C (21.2° to 35.6° F), and in July from 26° to 32° C (78.8° to 89.6° F). Precipitation is scant, and irrigation is necessary for crop cultivation, except along mountain slopes. With about 20,739,000 inhabitants in 1991, Uzbekistan has the largest population of the former Soviet republics in Central Asia, and the third largest population of any former Soviet republic. Uzbeks, a Turkic-speaking people with an Islamic heritage, constitute 71 percent of the population. Russians are the largest minority with 8.3 percent. As in most other former Soviet republics in Central Asia, the size of the Russian minority has decreased in recent years, as thousands have emigrated to Russia and elsewhere.

    Extractions: The last week in Russia's Moslem community was marked with a scandalous trick of the so-called high mufti, the head of the Central Spiritual Moslem department, sheikh Talgat Tadjuddin that he played at a meeting held by the United Russia party in the city of Ufa. When the party gave the sheikh permission to speak at the meeting, he drew a large saber (as it turned out later, it was blunt), waved it in the air and declared jihad against the USA. Then he explained everything in detail to journalists More details The Russian part of the Internet can offer a lot of interesting information to American users as well, albeit presumably to those Americans, who know the Russian language. Every now and then Russian websites publish the information about the actions that coalition forces might take in Iraq in the nearest future. More importantly, such suppositions often become real. This considerable informational assistance is reportedly rendered by anonymous agents of the Russian Central Intelligence Department.

    Extractions: Geography and Planning is an academic discipline that integrates the physical and social sciences. Students study the patterns and processes of human and physical phenomena in relationship to each other. Students gain knowledge that can be applied to solving societal, economic, and environmental problems and to planning for the future, whether they are taking general education or elective courses, acquiring specialized preparation needed for working in geography and planning and related fields, or meeting particular needs in combination with other majors in arts and sciences or professional fields. The field of geography assists students in comprehending the broad scope of the physical, cultural, demographic, and economic environments on local, national, and global scales. Geography courses develop skills and organize knowledge from various disciplines, and enable students to examine the integrated whole of a people with reference to habitat and interspatial relationships. Specialized skills, which utilize geographic information systems technology, provide salable skills for students interested in technical careers and complement courses that teach knowledge of environmental and human situations and problems. The bachelor of arts in geography offers a choice of four emphases (called "tracks"): traditional geography (cultural, environmental, and economic geography including an international perspective), geographic analysis, urban/regional planning, and elective teacher certification (citizenship education, formerly social studies). The geographic analysis and urban/regional planning areas emphasize specialized skill development. Internships are available and are recommended for qualified students.

    Extractions: Grigory Ioffe Professor of Geography Personal Data I was born and raised in Moscow, Russia. My true home place, though, is Kratovo, a dacha settlement 40 km southeast of Moscow where my grandmother owned a country house. In 1974, I graduated from Moscow State University where I majored in Economic Geography. There were 15 academic departments at the Geography Faculty (in other words, the School of Geography) and Economic and Social Geography of the USSR was the name of one of them. Early on I made a decision to specialize on Russian countryside because professor Sergei Alexandrovich Kovaliov, the utmost Russian rural geographer, seemed to me the only faculty in the department worth learning from. An urbanite by birth and living experience, I had no other reason to become a rural geographer myself. This decision kind of clinched the deal for me for many years to come. Indeed I now live far away from my native country, but am still involved in studying rural Russia - of all things. Apparently this is a formidable sign of inflexibility. Not that I dislike what I do as a researcher. In terms of my training and perspective, which includes viewing reality through the prism of spatial trends, e.g., center-periphery gradients, and their statistical explanation, I owe much to

Initially critical re-evaluation of hitherto elaborated concepts of region will be carried out including the relevance of internal, external, human and politico-geographical and environmental conditions for regional development. Followed by critical evaluation of existing methods and elaboration of new methods of analysis of regional differentiation and regional development will be carried out. Empirical research, carried out in selected model regions, will be primarily aimed at uncovering the basic features of regional differentiation and regional development in Slovakia.

The author notes that the bureau's role was heavily influenced by the federal constitution of 1787, which decreed that representation in Congress should be proportional to population size. The bureau's efforts to provide such data through the development of a census program are noted, as is its failure to develop a vital statistics system.
