Provinces of Mongolia Summary |
 | | Mongolia's eastern provinces of Dornod, Suhbaatar, and Hentii are dominated by grassy steppe, a geography that suits the region's major economy— sheep, cattle, and horse breeding. |
 | | Dornod is the farthest east of Mongolia's provinces (2000 population 75,000, area 123,000 square kilometers), famous for free-ranging herds of antelope that often number in the thousands. |
 | | The farthest west of Mongolia's provinces, Bayan Olgii (2000 population 91,000, area 46,000 square kilometers) is unique among the Mongolian aimags in that the majority of its inhabitants are a non-Mongolian speaking ethnic group—the Kazakhs. |
