Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic
Nakhchivan is a special area in the country of Azerbaijan. It is called an "autonomous republic" because it has its own government and rules, but it is still part of Azerbaijan.
Think of Azerbaijan like a big house and Nakhchivan like a separate room in the house. In that separate room, they get to make some of their own decisions, like what color to paint the walls or what games to play. But they still have to listen to the adults who run the whole house.
Nakhchivan is surrounded by big countries like Armenia, Turkey, and Iran, but it is not part of any of them. It has its own language, culture, and history. People who live in Nakhchivan are called Nakhchivanis, and they are proud of their unique place in the world.
