    I guess each country has its own strength and weakness but potentially Kazakhstan is with the brightest future because it is huge and with a lot of resources. The problem with Kazakhstan is that its economy and internal politics are driven by corruptive interests. If they fight corruption successfully, they can build very attractive country. If not, they will lose.

If you like futuristic cities, Astana in Kazakhstan is THE place to go! Tashkent in Uzbekistan is interesting capital, it's busy but safe, and its metro should really be visited. Almaty in Kazakhstan also has a nice metro and amazing mountains.

    All these countries are great, they potential to grow is huge. It depends only on how these countries will use their institutional, cultural and human resources for the development of civil society, democracy, progressive knowledge and technology. From my point of view, Kazakhstan has achieved much more in terms of economic and civic fundamentals to become a well-developed country. The Kazakh people, I used to work with, had very good western style education, work skills and progressive mindset. Almaty is the best city in the region and has all you need what many western mega cities offer, like good restaurants, cafeterias, retail shops, wellness and gym clubs. The only complaint is the airport and public transports, taxies. The overall experience was excellent and we will definitely consider doing business in this beautiful country.

    Yeah, Uzbekistan is not as modern as 🇦🇿, 🇰🇿 or 🇬🇪 , but without any doubt Registan is the most precious gem along the Great Silk Road, located in the very heart of the ancient city of Samarkand. Restored thanks to meticulous work of work of hundreds of restorers, this sight can claim - in my opinion - to be in the top ten list of the wonders of the world. Or Shah-i-zinda . Meaning of Shah-I-Zinda is Tomb of the Living King, and the structures with amazing colourful domes, intricate windows, finest glazed tilework, is a must see for any traveller visiting Samarkhand. Most sacred Tomb is that of Qusum ibn Abbas, a cousin of Prophet Mohammad, who brought Islam to Central Asia during 7th century. And I'm talking about just one city, about Samarkand. You are all welcome to Uzbekistan at any time, but for best experience, its advisable to visit in Spring! I feel really grateful for it's peace and quite, and for growing up here without knowing what War looks like. Come, visit, and see all the historical, nature, cousine beauty with your own eyes.

      World scientists have recognized that the world's first horses, tulip plant and apple tree appeared in Kazakhstan. People of the world call the name of the first human being Adam. Kazakhs have long called the human race Adam, and still do. Russians call a person a Chelovek, and the English call a Man. Only Kazakhs say Adam. This leads me to believe that the first man in the world appeared in Kazakhstan. It is also convenient for the spread of people from the territory of Kazakhstan to Africa, Asia and Europe. He is in the center.
      You can also see the Nuhbing ship in the Turkestan region of southern Kazakhstan. Not very big, 30 meters. but God is able to put the genes of all creatures into this vessel. This ship is stuck on a hill. There was no sea here even during the Arab invasion in the 7th century. Local residents say that there are places like Noah's shrine in these areas. I am convinced that this is Noah's ark, hidden from the world.

    I moved to Georgia 10 years ago from the US and would never consider moving back, or anywhere else for that matter. The details here on Georgia are accurate other than about the political situation. There are no pro-Russian parties in government or people, that's an unfair criticism from pro-Western camps about people who want to pursue a balanced political and economic strategy. The fact that 20% of the country is occupied by Russia and was attacked multiple times in 30 years proves that nobody can be pro Russian in any sense here.
    Totally true about safety and the almost complete lack of corruption.
    That being said, I agree that Kazakhstan has huge economic potential but Georgia is at the crosswords of the world, with Asia to the east and Europe to the west. Simple geography and global sea access gives huge potential especially with an incomparably rich, proud, and self-aware culture and society.

    Personally, on this list, my preference goes to Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. Spent ten days in each as my first travel outside of European geographical continent and I wasn't disappointed!
    Georgia for visiting, been there short time (24 hrs) between two flights already, but it seems too much pro-West to me, if you say 75% are pro-EU...unfortunate because I really like Georgian food and drinks.
    I may be born in Western Europe, but I feel better out of there. Currently living outside of the EU/West and I keep Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan in mind as interesting alternatives, not just for visiting.

Kazakhstan нужно произносить с твердыми первой и последней а, плюс шва посередине. Если ставить /æ/, это уже британское произношение, поэтому в глаза бросается в вашей речи. Это вообще общий принцип в американском произношении иностранных малознакомых слов. Они в основном пытаются твердую а ставить, потому что считают, что /æ/ нетипичный звук для других, что точно правда для европейских языков. Кстати, у нас в казахском /æ/ как раз-таки в целом есть, но не в этом слове :) Успехов!

Kazakhstan has the highest per capita nominal GDP among these four countries and the strongest economy larger than the other three combined. And there is slight increase in their population from 1991. Georgia seems to be doing the worst in economic terms as it has a declining population which shows more and more people are emigrating out of the country.

Never did. They said Russia is a threat yet they continue their pro Russian policies. People don’t trust Georgian banks. There’ve been many instances when accounts of Russian citizens were closed for no apparent reason. Also they denied entry for many Russian opposition leader with no explanation.

    Love the video and the comparison. I wish you added Armenia to it, though, as it's a beautiful country in the caucasus region, and it deserves to be there in the comparison list.
    I visited all these countries multiple times ( the only exception is Azerbaijan, I visited it just once). They're all beautiful and hidden beautiful gems, and they are truly worth visiting. Personally, it's so hard to say which one I prefer, but I found the architecture in some Uzbek cities such as Samarkand, Bukhara, and Khiva incredible and breathtaking. The food there in Uzbekistan is also great and the people (especially in smaller cities) are incredibly kind and hospitable.
    Kazakhstan is relatively modern and developed, and living standards there are quite good compared to its Central Asian neighbours. In fact, I felt that I'm somewhere in Eastern Europe when I visited Kazakhstan. People are also nice and friendly and the food is good but not as good as in Uzbekistan. Nature is great there, but the history and architecture aren't as superior as in Uzbekistan.
    Georgia is lovely! The food, the people, the cosy streets of Tbilisi and of course, the nearby mountains and nature make the country a perfect holiday destination. There's some political unrest there though because of its political position between the West and Russia. I guess a good solution for a country in this situation would be neutrality and establishing balanced relations with Russia and the West.
    Azerbaijan is beautiful and it's capital Baku is very modern, clean, and organized but I probably need to visit it again before I have a comprehensive opinion about it.
    It's very hard to say which one of them I prefer but if I want to compare them in terms of historical beauty then Uzbekistan would be on top, in terms of nature, Georgia would be on top, in terms of food, Georgia would also top the list, and in terms of peace of mind, safety, and easy living, maybe Kazakhstan would be number one.
    In summary, they're all beautiful but not only these 4 countries are beautiful but also the rest of the former USSR countries. Luckily, I visited 14 of them and loved them all!

      I also forgot to mention that if I had the chance to choose one of these countries to live for about a year or so, I would probably choose Georgia. Mainly because of its proximity to Europe and the Middle East and also because of their relaxed visa conditions and the overall financial and personal freedom there.

    The Baltic states are by far the most well off today. They were the quickest to adopt a free market policy and it shows.

      which one are you talking about? is it Lithuania? One of the most drinking countries with extremely high suicide rate? Or maybe you're talking about Latvia, the country that lost about a third its population?

    Thanks for a very interesting video. We in the West know so little about these countries and usually get angled information if we get any. I like your videos informative and educational in a positive way.

    Brilliant content , I had travelled to first 3 countries and couldn't travel to Georgia due to covid related restrictions . People are quite friendly but yes corruption is bit of problem to get things done .
