 WHERE IS MY COUNTRY LOCATED
My country is located between the Russian
Federation and the Peoples Republic of China.
The country has an area of 604,246 square
miles, slightly smaller than the state of
Alaska.
 LANDSCAPE
The landscape in Mongolia is a very good place
to go sight seeing. This landscape is full of
cool and amazing valleys and hills.
 WATERWAYS
 Mongolia has 397 kilometers of navigable
waterways, primarily on Hovsgol Nuur and on
the Selenge Moron, which are passable only
five months of the year. These water routes
were used to transport cargo, grain,
agricultural machinery, industrial equipment,
lumber, consumer goods, and fuel to and from
the Soviet Union.
PRECIPITATION
 CLIMATE
 Mongolia is high, cold, and dry. It has an extreme
continental climate with long, cold winters and
short summers, during which most
precipitation falls. The country averages 257
cloudless days a year, and it is usually at the
center of a region of high atmospheric
pressure. Precipitation is highest in the north,
which averages 20 to 35 centimeters per year,
and lowest in the south.
PEOPLE
 GOVERNMENT
Mongolia in 1989 was a communist state
modeled on Soviet political and government
institutions. The government was a one party
system, presided over by the Mongolian
People's Revolutionary Party. Currently
Mongolia’s political system is a parliamentary
republic.
 POPULATION
 The population in Mongolia was estimated at
2,632,387 in 2008 and the US was estimated at
304,060,000 so as you can tell there is way
more people in the US than in Mongolia.
 RELIGION
 Here are the religions


 50% are Tibetan Buddhism



 40% have no religion



 6% are Shamanist and Christian



 4% are Muslim
 DIALECT
 The dialect in Mongolia is Khalkha. Over 90% of
the Mongolia’s residents speak it. There are
over 5.7 million people speaking it in the world
today.
 ECONOMY / EDUCATION
ECONOMY-The economy in Mongolia is mainly
centered on agriculture and mining. Some of
the main things they mine are copper, coal,
molybdenum, tin, tungsten and gold which
account for a large part of the industrial
production.
EDUCATION-During the state socialist period,

education was one of the areas of significant

achievement in Mongolia. Illiteracy was
virtually eliminated, in part through the use of
seasonal boarding schools for children of
nomadic families. Funding to these boarding
schools was cut in the 1990s, contributing to
slightly increased illiteracy.
 HEALTHCARE
 Mongolia's government has made great efforts
to provide modern medical care to the
inhabitants. In the 1980s, medical care was
free and was provided through a hierarchy of
clinics and hospitals. In rural areas, the lowest
level of the system was a medical station,
staffed by a physician's assistant, serving
people within a thirty- to forty-kilometer radius.
Since 1990, key health indicators like life
expectancy and infant and child mortality have
steadily improved, both due to social changes
and to improvement in the health sector.
