There are seven "Stan countries" in the world. The suffix "-istan" means "the land of," so Kazakhstan is the land of the Kazaks, and Afghanistan is the land of the Afghans. All of the Stan countries have a Muslim majority, but all of them except Pakistan also have Russian Orthodox churches, and this is tolerated.

I can't help but remember how the comedian "Borat" brilliantly savaged these Eastern European countries.
