Hello, I would like to learn about Turkmenistan. 
 Turkmenistan or Turkmenia is a country in South-central Asia. China was among very few nations to whom Turkmenistan made significant overtures. 
 What is the etymology of Turkmenistan? 
 Since independence from Soviet Union in 1991, the official name of the state is "the Republic of Turkmenistan". 
 Do you know what the name is derived from? 
 Sorry, I do not have that information. I can tell you that the name Turkmenistan can be divided into two components: the Ethnonym Turkmen and the Persian suffix- stan meaning "place of" or "country". 
 Nice, can you tell me about the economy of this country? 
 In 2012, around 7,000 tractors, 5,000 cotton cultivators, 2,200 sowing machines and other machinery, mainly procured from Belarus and the USA, are being used. 
 What is the GDP of the country? 
 Unfortunately, I do not have that answer for you. I can tell you that during the 2011 season, Turkmenistan produced around 1.1 million tons of raw cotton, mainly from Mary, Balkan, Akhal, Lebap, and Dashoguz provinces. 
 Thank you so much for the information! 
 Happy to help.
