The nation's industrial base is diverse, with key sectors including oil and gas, petrochemicals, agriculture, food processing, and metallurgy.

Azerbaijani is the official language of Azerbaijan, with Russian also widely spoken, especially in urban areas. The country's linguistic landscape reflects its ethnic composition, which includes various minority languages spoken among different communities.
Azerbaijan's economy is primarily driven by the energy sector, but agriculture also plays a significant role, with activities such as cotton growing, horticulture, and livestock farming contributing to rural livelihoods. The country's culture is rich and diverse, influenced by Persian, Turkish, and Russian traditions, visible in its literature, music, and cuisine.
Azerbaijan is also known for its historical and cultural heritage, boasting numerous ancient sites and architectural marvels, such as the UNESCO-listed Walled City of Baku with the Shirvanshah's Palace and Maiden Tower. Despite modern developments, Azerbaijan strives to preserve its historical legacy and cultural identity.
