Changed line(s) 9,14 (click to see context) from:

Uzbekistan's economy relies mainly on commodity production, including cotton, gold, uranium, potassium, and natural gas. Despite the declared objective of transition to a market economy, Uzbekistan continues to maintain rigid economic controls, which often repel foreign investors. The policy of gradual, strictly controlled transition has nevertheless produced beneficial results in the form of economic recovery after 1995. Uzbekistan's [[PeoplesRepublicOfTyranny domestic policies on human rights and individual freedoms]] are often criticized by international organizations (when there's a pervasive rumour that your leader enjoys boiling dissidents alive, you have a bit of a problem...).

Uzbeks are found in other countries as well--mainly Afghanistan, where they are the third biggest minority group, and other former Soviet republics. Uzbekistan is one of Russia's biggest sources of immigrants, both legal and illegal.

->The flag's sky blue, white and green stripes symbolize the skies and water, peace and purity, and hope and joy, respectively; the red fimbriations symbolize the blood that flows in every human; the crescent at the canton is a Turkic symbol; and the twelve stars denote the months of the year, as well as the astronomical achievements of the land during the Islamic Age.
