With an area of 488,100 sq km and a population of about 4.9 million, Turkmenistan has huge natural resources, including the world's third or fourth reserves of natural gas and considerable oil. There is a wide range of minerals to produce chemicals.
The world's third largest deposits of sulphur are found in the Kara Kum desert, a land mass covering about 80% of the country. There are deposits of potassium, chloride, sodium sulphate salt and other minerals. Slightly larger than California, Turkmenistan is almost equidistant from the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and occupies the south-west corner of what was formerly Soviet Central Asia. The country borders Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, the Caspian Sea, Iran, and Afghanistan.
