	Description:		We explore the future of a country that went from boom to bust in less than a decade. A year after Ulaanbaatar received a $5.5bn bail-out from the International Monetary Fund, has the resource-dependent economy been able to diversify? Also, what is the future of a democracy squeezed between China and Russia? We hear how the country has embraced technology and tradition as it moves further away from communism. And, as Mongolians celebrate Naadam, presenter Roger Hearing gets hands-on in the festival's "three games of men". Roger is joined throughout the programme by Lkhavga Erdene, an award winning investigative reporter, and Onon Bayasgalan of the Zorig Foundation civil society group.
