Why 99% of This Huge Country Is Completely Empty

About 99% of Mongolia is just wide-open land, and that’s because most Mongolians stick to living in cities, especially the capital, Ulaanbaatar. The rest of the place is this incredible mix of deserts, mountains, and grasslands, perfect for nomads and their herds but not so much for building big towns. Plus, with a population of just around 3 million people spread out over an area nearly the size of Alaska, there’s a whole lot of room to roam. It’s like the ultimate playground for anyone who loves nature and wide-open spaces!
