    Geography
     Balochistan is located at the eastern edge of the Iranian
    plateau and in the border region between Southwest,
    Central, and South Asia.
     It is geographically the largest of the four provinces at
    347,190 km² (134,051 square miles) of Pakistani
    territory; and composes 48% of the total land area of
    Pakistan.
     The population density is very low due to the
    mountainous terrain and scarcity of water.
     The southern region is known as Makran.
     The central region is known as Kalat.
     At Gwadar on the coast the Pakistani government is
    currently undertaking a large project with Chinese help
    to build a large port.

    More…
    The capital city is Quetta, located in the most densely
    populated district in the northeast of the province. Quetta
    is situated in a river valley near the border with
    Afghanistan, with a road to Kandahar in the northwest.
     The Sulaiman Mountains dominate the northeast
    corner and the Bolan Pass is a natural route into
    Afghanistan towards Kandahar, used as a
    passageway during the British campaigns to
    Afghanistan.
     Much of the province south of the Quetta region is
    sparse desert terrain with pockets of towns mostly
    near rivers and streams.
    Climate
     Very cold winters and hot summers
    characterise the climate of the upper
    highlands.
     Summers are hot and dry, especially the arid
    zones of Chaghai and Kharan districts.
     The desert climate is characterised by hot
    and very arid conditions. Occasionally strong
    windstorms make these areas very
    inhospitable.

    million inhabitants.
