塔吉克共和國
中亞國土面積最小的國家,人均GDP為中亞最低。與俄羅斯經濟往來密切,所以當俄羅斯遭到全球經濟制裁時,塔吉克大受影響。國內右半邊的戈爾諾-巴達赫尚自治州(簡稱GBAO)因10多年來跟政府的矛盾,2022年爆發嚴重抗議,遭到政府武力鎮壓。該國之前曾和伊朗冷戰,但2022年握手言和,共同簽署了17項協議,並恢復兩國首都之間的直航。現任總統是1992年上任的拉赫蒙,以高壓獨裁的統治方法著稱,執政超過30年。境內極端組織ISKP(IS位於中亞的其中一個分支)近年把拉赫蒙當成招募影片主角招募廣告的主角,運用後製技術,讓拉赫蒙受折磨,呼籲受到壓迫的人民加入組織、起身反抗政權。也有人權團體指控塔吉克協助中國逮捕和引渡新疆維吾爾人,敦促國際刑事法院展開調查。和鄰國吉爾吉斯邊界中有三分之一以上存在爭議,槍戰持續發生。

Tajikistan is the smallest country by land area in Central Asia, but it is still four times bigger than Taiwan. Mountains cover 93% of the country's land area. The state's domestic economy performs poorly, with a GDP per capita of less than USD 1,000. As the most impoverished country in Central Asia, laborers leave the country in droves to seek job opportunities overseas. Money sent home by Tajik migrant workers from overseas contributes to about 26% of the National GDP. After Tajikistan signed onto the Belt and Road initiative, its diplomatic policies shifted toward China, weakening Russia's influence in the country. In 2021, there have been many troubles along its borders like the clash with the Kyrgyz Republic and aggression by the expanding Taliban forces.
