Akmola Region, Administrative region in northern Kazakhstan
The Akmola Region encompasses 146,219 square kilometers of territory in Kazakhstan, containing 17 districts and multiple cities including Kökşetau and Stepnogorsk.
The administrative division underwent multiple transformations during the Soviet period, when it operated under the name Tselinograd Oblast until Kazakhstan's independence.
The population distribution shows 55 percent ethnic Kazakhs followed by Russian and Ukrainian communities, with Islam and Christianity as primary religious affiliations.
The region maintains strong economic foundations through gold mining, coal extraction, and agricultural production, generating an annual GDP of 3,484 billion Kazakhstani tenge.
Within its boundaries, the Akmola Region completely encircles the national capital Astana, yet maintains separate administrative and political structures from the city.
