CUISINE
Okay, Uzbekistan is like the Chuck Norris of cuisine because they bake bread in this thing:
This is an oven that sticks the bread to the top of the oven and burn till it's golden brown. That's just awesome. (But before we pursue any further, I'd like to mention that this cuisine is similar to the Tajikistan cuisine with all the Palov and stuff, but in this country garlic is often added to many things, okay let's return.) They also have Manti which is Uzbek-style Dumplings which can be filled with anything ranging from pumpkins and lamb to just beef. Palov is just as popular in Uzbekistan as it is in Tajikistan and there are many more dishes such as Oshi Piyozi, (A stuffed onion) Dholeh, (A risotto like-dish) Fried Fish with Garlic Sauce, (Specifically for Friday Nights in Jewish households) and many variations of Palov such as Osh Palov (The Jewish Variation) & Serkaniz. (A Garlic Variation) But one of the more interesting dishes is Boyjon, an eggplant puree mixed with salt and garlic only and is also served on Friday Nights in Jewish households.
ATTRACTIONS
First is the Amir Timur Museum, most well known for it's distinctive blue dome and ornate interior. It features the exhibits Timur and President Islam Karimov. It is a very beautiful place and is often given a five out of five stars by critics. Next up is something that has an awesome name; The Ark. The Ark is a MASSIVE fortress built in the city of Bukhara in Uzbekistan. It was originally built and occupied in the 5th century and it has been practically untouched since then. It offers about 9.8 Acres of legendary Islamic history. Finally is Registan, (No that is not a recently made micro-nation) it was the heart of the city Samarkand during the Timurid dynasty. It now lies in Uzbekistan and the word Registan itself means Sandy Place in Persian. It is separated into three Madrasahs, the Sher-Dor Madrasah, the Ulugh Beg Madrasah, and the Tilya Kori Madrasah. They were all built in completely different times (Ulugh Beg in the 15th century, Sher-Dor in the 1610s, and Tilya Kori in the late 1640s) and each Madrasah has many historical legends that come with them.

PEOPLE
There official language is Uzbek and the currency is the Uzbekistan Som and this currency is just mind blowing because one US Dollar equals, wait for it.......
2496.16 UZBEKISTAN SOMS
THAT IS INSANE!!!!! *Ahem* Anyways, as of 2013, all types of crime in Uzbekistan have rose dramatically, and corruption and bribery is at an all time high. That's not a very good factor for helping with your score.
Final score is...
77.75
