Kazakhstan is a vast landlocked country in Central Asia characterized by expansive степpe plains, deserts, mountain ranges in the east and southeast, and inland seas such as the Caspian Sea and the Aral Sea.

📍 Kazakhstan is a large, landlocked country located in Central Asia, with a small portion extending into Eastern Europe west of the Ural River. It is bordered by Russia to the north and northwest, China to the east, and Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan to the south, with coastlines along the Caspian Sea to the west.
Kazakhstan’s landscape is vast and varied, consisting mainly of steppes, deserts, and semi-arid regions, along with mountain ranges in the southeast near its border with Kyrgyzstan and China. It is one of the largest landlocked countries in the world. The country’s size and central location have historically made it an important part of trade routes such as the Silk Road, connecting Europe and Asia.

What is an ISO Country Code?

ISO country codes come from the international standard ISO 3166 created by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). These codes are used globally in databases, aviation systems, banking, shipping, and international data systems to uniquely identify countries and territories.

ISO 3166-1 codes are the two-letter country codes such as US, FR, or JP. These are called Level-1 ISO codes.

Only ISO 3166-1 codes support flag emojis. Flag emojis are created by combining two Unicode regional indicator letters that match the country's ISO two-letter code.

ISO 3166-2 codes represent states, provinces, or regions. Example: US-AZ = Arizona CA-ON = Ontario Subdivision codes do not have flag emojis.
ISO-2 Code: KZ
ISO-3 Code: KAZ
ISO Numeric Code: 398
