Answer: Mongolia

Ulan Bator (often also spelt Ulaanbaatar) is Mongolian for Red Hero. The city has been previously called Kuren and Urga, but was renamed Ulan Bator in 1924 following the creation of the Mongolian People's Republic. Ulan Bator is one of the coldest capital cities in the world with an average temperature of about 29.7 degrees Fahrenheit (-1.3 degrees Celsius).

2. The middle of Australia is sparsely populated and arid. This part of Australia goes by a very colourful name. What is it known as?

Answer: The Red Centre

Answer: Khaki

The Iranian village of Khaki is somewhat on the small side with a population of less than 50.

Subsequently khaki went on to become a popular choice as the colour of many nations' military uniforms.

Answer: Orange River

The Orange River has its beginning in the Drakensberg Mountains and ends 2,200 km (1,367 mi) later where it flows into the Atlantic Ocean at Alexander Bay. Dutch explorer Robert Jacob Gordon (1743-1795) named it after the Dutch House of Orange.
