In western Mongolia, the coniferous forests of the Altaj and Changaj mountain ranges, and in the south the country consists of a wavy high plateau with steppe and desert. The river Selenge flows up into the mountains to the north and flows into Lake Baikal on the Russian Federation. Some minor rivers flow into shallow lakes within the northwest highlands, but most of the country lacks drainage. Mongolia has a large number of extinguished volcanoes as well as hot springs. The country has a pronounced continental climate with large temperature differences during the year and during the day as well as little rainfall.

The constitution prescribes a parliament, which is elected for four years. The president, who is elected for four years, has limited powers of power. The country was declared an independent republic in 1924.

Traditionally nomadic livestock management has been Mongolia’s most dominant industry, but since the 1950s a more diverse economy has emerged. In the cities, modern monetary economy prevails, while the rural population relies on self-management and barter. The mining industry is the country’s most important export industry. The economically most important agricultural product is cashmere wool; the country accounts for one third of the world’s production. Drought, floods, winter cold and huge amounts of snow in 2000/01 and 2009/10 meant that a large part of the population needed emergency assistance and the country received international assistance.
