How does physical geography affect economies of Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan?

Farming / Industry: Physical geography determines what natural resources a country has and whether their land is good for farming particular crops or mining particular materials. Trade: The physical geography of the world limits Kyrgystan's and Tajikistan's trading partners greatly limits their trading partners. Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan are landlocked, so must trade with or through their immediate neighbours. As well, the mountains terrain make travel hard, whether through roads or air. Sovereignty: The separation of these countries by the mountains leads them to make separate governments, thus reducing the economic power they could have if they were one nation.

Countries with largest amount of mountain as their makeup?

Almost certainly Nepal or Bhutan, though it depends a lot on what you define as mountain. Tajikistan is also a contender, as is Kyrgyzstan. Norway is extremely mountainous, but the highest peak is only 2,469m, whereas all of the above have peaks over 7,000m. If you mean number of mountains, then China is likely to be top, being both mountainous and enormous. Areas like Guangzhuo with many limestone towers are arguably mountainous by dominance (percentage of total height that is prominence) but arguably not mountainous as they are not very high.If pressed to a conclusion, I'd probably say: Nepal top, then Bhutan, then Kyrgyzstan, then Tajikistan.
