Although I have had the opportunity to visit many unusual countries, this one without a doubt has the strangest laws I have ever seen.

Namely, among other things, New Year's Eve, Christmas, and any kind of public celebration are prohibited here. It is forbidden to hold weddings with a large number of people, and at funerals, it is not allowed to cry loudly, hold your hands on your head or show excessive emotions. Children are forbidden to be given foreign names at birth, men are not allowed to wear long beards, and all martial arts that promote violence are also prohibited. But what is actually hidden behind this, at first rather unusual country and whether Tajikistan is really closed like this, we will find out in this video. And when we talk about this country, Tajikistan or the "Land of the Tajiks", is the smallest country in Central Asia, created by the collapse of the USSR, in which about ten million people live today, while today twice as many Tajiks live outside the country, as many as 20 million of them. The capital and largest city is Dushanbe, and almost 90% of the surface of Tajikistan is occupied by mountains. Some are really high, so the highest peak in the country, Ismaila Samania, is at an altitude of 7495 meters and was once the highest peak of the entire Soviet Union, called the Peak of Communism. Tajikistan was also the least developed republic of the former Soviet Union, and today it is among the poorest countries in this part of the world. The economy of the country mainly depends on the cultivation of cotton, and the production of electricity is also very important due to numerous hydroelectric power plants, which is not surprising if we know that there are over 900 rivers in the country, as well as the second largest artificial dam in the world. The official currency in the country is the somoni, which looks like this, and at the time of recording this video, for 1 euro, you get 10 somoni. And what is also very interesting, is that this is only one of the few currencies in the world that has a denomination of 3. How do you like the video, and would you visit this country?
