Karakalpakstan, Autonomous republic in northwestern Uzbekistan
Karakalpakstan covers 166,590 square kilometers of territory, including parts of the Kyzylkum Desert and the Amu Darya river delta region.
The region developed extensive irrigation systems for agriculture from 500 BC to 500 AD, with numerous fortresses built throughout the Khorezm territory.
The Karakalpak people maintain their distinct Turkic language, written in Latin alphabet since 1996, with linguistic connections to Kazakh and Noghai communities.
The territory contains 16 administrative districts and multiple urban centers, with Nukus serving as the capital and primary economic hub.
The constitution grants this region the right to withdraw from Uzbekistan through a nationwide referendum, making it the only territory with this privilege.
