OLD, but still interesting stuff:
Karakalpakstan - an autonomous republic within the country of Uzbekistan.  It is in the northwest part of Uzbekistan.  Nukus is the capital.  JDA's first programs were in this region and continue today!
Random fact:"Kara" means "black" and "kalpak" means "hat"...
Karakalpakstan is the poorest and least developed region of Uzbekistan (click to see 2003 MSF report). The Aral Sea is there.
