The Weirdest Dictatorship on Earth: Turkmenistan
The central Asian nation of Turkmenistan is one of the world's most secretive and mysterious countries.
Information from the central Asian country is tightly controlled and few people enter, while its human rights record is decried, and it has virtually no free press.
The country's capital, Ashgabat, is one of the most unusual capital cities in the world, its streets lined with marble and filled with golden statues despite the economic troubles of the natural-resource-rich nation.
While not much information leaks out of the country, we do know a little bit about it.
