 * 1) Turkmenistan is located at 40°N, 60°E. The surrounding countries include Iran, Afghanistan, Kazankhstan, and Uzebekistan.
 * 2) The economic system of Turkmenistan is a command economy is a market economy because the government plays a small role in the economic world and the consumer plays a bigger role in what is exported, sold, imported, etc. An example of this is the government made the statistics a secret and created an agency for that. Also, the consumer made the exporting of oil (because of high prices) rise by 15%.
 * 3) Turkmenistan's most valuable resources are gas, oil, and cotton. With the gas and oil prices being so high, the exporting of these goods has been very good to Turkmenistan's economy. Cotton has been having poor harvests so the exporting of cotton has dropped about 50%.
 * 4) Turkmenistan is a impoverished country. There is a poor education system set up. 60% of the population is unemployed.
 * 5) Turkmenistan has 6 airports ( out of 22) with unpaved runways and the main languages spoken in Turkmenistan are Turkmen, Russian, and Uzebek.
