Only the most fearless of demographers
deal with the various enclaves in eastern
Uzbekistan and western Kyrgyzstan.
There are a large number of possible
maglev routes and supurb locations
depending on actions by Uzbekistan's
five immediate neighbors. We note that
even the magical maglev struggles
against persistent and resistant forces
that manifest as high inflation.  The cost
of cotton production is very high.
