Mongolia is located in eastern-central Asia, bordered by China and Russia. It is the second largest land locked country in the world, the first being Kyrgyzstan. At over 971,896 square miles in area and with a population of only 2.9 million people, Mongolia is the nineteenth largest and most sparsely populated country in the world. With very little arable land, Mongolia has traditionally been dominated by a pastoral economy and nomadic population. Though mining and industry have increased considerably in recent years, up to a third of the population remains nomadic. The predominant religion is Tibetan Buddhism, which has seen a resurgence in popularity since religious worship was legalized again after the fall of the communist government in 1991. Today, Mongolia has a unicameral parliamentary democracy. In 2005 George W. Bush became the first sitting United States president to visit Mongolia.
