Pakistan's Demographics

In the east of Pakistan lies Punjab, the most widepsread of high population. This is where Islamabad and Lahore reside. In the Southeast lies the Sindh which contains Pakistan's main port, Karachi. In the southwest lies the Balochs, a fairly spread out rural region. Baluchistan holds the city of Quetta as well as smaller seaport cities. For a mildly long stretch on the western border, north of the Baluchs, lies the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) containing mostly Pushtus. A similar region just north of FATA is the Northwest Frontier Providence that contains the city of Peshwar and is also made up mostly of Pushtus. Finally there are the Northern Areas (FANA), low in population density and filled Pitrali and Shina people.
