Why is Turkmenistan unique?

Turkmenistan, a unique country with a burning crater known as the Door to Hell, has a complex history. Inhabited for 10,000 years, it gained independence in 1991. Ruled by eccentric leaders like Saparmyrat Nyyazow and Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, the country witnessed unusual laws, statue changes, and prohibitions. The capital, Ashgabat, boasts white marble buildings and statues of dogs, reflecting the leader's preferences. Despite extravagant projects, the population lives in poverty, and the government's control extends to media censorship. Turkmenistan's wealth from natural gas faces challenges due to geographical constraints and dependency on China for exports. The secretive nature of the regime complicates demographic data analysis. Despite revenue generation, the population remains impoverished, contrasting with countries like Qatar. The pandemic revealed an extremist government's denial tactics, with massive spending on non-essential projects. Subscribe to Econosimple for more insights.
