The official government website, the over-the-top Turkmenistan the Golden Age, has a visitor counter at the bottom of the page.
Internet access is so terrible in Turkmenistan that way more people from Russia can access this page than people from inside Turkmenistan.
A whopping 13,419 are shown today as logging in from Russia, and only 5,250 from Turkmenistan (and it's like that most days, I've been watching for weeks). Imagine that! (I'm wondering if some people have access to Russian providers even within Turkmenistan? But I don't know how that would work, especially now that MTS has been shut down.)
Then you can see the dwindling list of the rest of the countries that care about reading Turkmenistan's official government news:
5,026 Turkey
3,480 US
3,595 Ukraine
2,153 Germany
Then it drops off further:
1,783 Belarus
1,657 China
1,557 Kazakhstan
1,437 UK
1,184 Netherlands
900 France
