Signification
A nation with high wealth.
Contexte culturel
Wealth is often associated with the 'Mendeleev Table' because the country has almost all natural elements. A 'Bay' was historically a leader who owned thousands of horses, not just a person with money. In Almaty and Astana, 'rich country' status is displayed through futuristic architecture. Kazakhstan is often compared to its neighbors as the most 'бай мемлекет' in the region due to oil.
