Set in Kazakhstan, not filmed there
1 more place in Kazakhstan appears on this atlas because a game, an anime or a manga is SET there. Nothing was filmed at it: a drawn or rendered work is filmed nowhere, and some of these places are invented and pinned on what Wikidata says they are based on.
Also shot in Kazakhstan, without a precise location
Wikidata records 2 more productions as shot in Kazakhstan while naming only the country or the state: true, and too coarse to pin, so they are named here rather than dropped or guessed at.
Also named as shot in Kazakhstan by their Wikipedia articles
6 productions name Kazakhstan in their Wikipedia articles as where they were shot, without a place inside it, so they are listed here rather than pinned or dropped.
