Following the resignation of Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev after nearly three decades in power, news that the country's capital would be renamed from Astana to Nursultan quickly spread.

The country's signature blue and yellow remain on Kazakhstanos, formerly known as Thanos of "Avengers" fame.

"Walking around the city of Nursultan, you'll turn onto Nursultanovsky Avenue and walk past Nursultan University. On the way to the Nursultan monument, you might venture into the Nursultan store."

Nursultan is omnipresent.
