Kazakhstan is possibly more democratic than all its neighbours save maybe Kirghizstan (I&#x27;m not up do date on the current government position). More democratic as in I can&#x27;t make up who&#x27;s more of a despot between Putin and Nazarbayev, after all they both win open elections, albeit with an iron grip on medias... But then Kirghizstan is likely depending on its neighbours for connectivity (also landlocked).<p>The other neighbours are shining beacons of democracy such as Russia, China and Uzbekistan...
