Pakistan

The Islamic Republic of Pakistan (Urdu پاکستان) in South Asia with the capital Islamabad covers 796,095 km². It borders Iran to the south-west, Afghanistan to the west, China to the north and India to the east. In the south, Pakistan shares the coast of the Arabian Sea, a tributary of the Indian Ocean. The state was created in 1947 from the predominantly Muslim parts of British India, while the areas with a Hindu or other majority population and most of the predominantly Muslim Kashmir (there is a conflict over parts of it) were absorbed into present-day India. The former part of East Pakistan has been independent as Bangladesh since the Bangladesh War of 1971.
