Tuva
Tuva is a unique region in the Russian Federation, which gained its status of a State not long time ago - in 1921. 23 years later, on 11 October 1944, Tuva voluntarily joined USSR. Our republic is also unique by its people, rich culture and nature. Tuvan shamanism by now has remained one of the untouched by modern civilization, it is one of the layers of Tuvan traditional culture which has been kept in its original form. Tuva is situated in the very center of Asia and a monument honoring this fact is placed in the capital Kyzyl. Neighboring Russian republics are Altai, Khacassia and Buryatia and to the south the country borders on Mongolia. Tuva covers a territory of 170,000 square kilometers. The distance from west to east is 750 kilometers and 450 kilometers from north to south the longest way.
The capital of Tuva is Kyzyl. The country includes 17 administrative regions and a total of 5 towns. The number of inhabitants is 310,000 with a population density of 2 people per km2. Half the population lives in the towns and approximately 100,000 live in Kyzyl. Official languages are Tuvan and Russian. The industrial development of the 20th century has only marginally affected Tuva, owing to its isolated location behind the eastern and western Sayan Mountains. As a result the national economy has not developed much. On the other hand the nature of Tuva has remained almost untouched by industry so that Tuva today is one of few ecologically sound regions of Russia. Things are changing, however. The fact that the land is so rich in natural resources is increasing interest and pressure from Russian as well as foreign actors. There are rare metals such as tantalum, niobium and lithium, and poly-metals. Copper, coal and iron ore are currently mined in Tuva.

There are three climate zones in Tuva: a steppe zone in the central part with the Khemchik and Turan-Uyuk steppe; a semi desert zone in the south around Ubsu-Nur on the border to Mongolia and a taiga- forest zone including Todzha and Tere-Khol. In the northern part there is a chain of high mountains with alpine meadows. Here you can find reindeer-breeders.
