#1) Check your spelling. Kazakhstan. #2) The Chimborazo question is disingenuous. It has to do with where the mountains are measured from. The summit of Chimborazo is the farthest point on Earth from the Earths center but it is not the highest point on Earth. It's actually only the 39th highest in its own range. The highest point is still Everest.
