General facts |

Pakistan is an Islamic Republic.
Pakistan is situated between latitude 24 and 37 degrees North and
longitude 62 and 75 degrees East. The country borders Iran on the
west, India in the east, Afghanistan in the north-west, China in the
north and the Arabian Sea on the south. It has four Provinces;
Balochistan, North West, Frontier (NWFP), Punjab and Sindh.
In addition to provinces, are the Federally Administered Northern
Areas (FANA) and Federally Administered Tribal Areas. The great
mountain ranges of the Himalayas, the Karakorams and the Hindukush
form Pakistan’s northern highlands of North West Frontier Province
and the Northern Area. Punjab province is a flat, alluvial plain
with five major rivers dominating the upper region eventually
joining the Indus River flowing south to the Arabian Sea. Sindh is
bounded on the east by the Thar Desert and the Rann of Kutch and on
the west by the Kirthar range and the Balochistan Plateau is an arid
tableland, encircled by dry mountains. Pakistan has a federal
structure. Parliament consists of the National Assembly and the
Senate. Members of the National Assembly are directly elected on
adult franchise basis and their term of office is 05 years. The
National Assembly determines the major policy issues and passes
annual budget and legislation. It elects the Prime Minister from
among its members. The Prime Minister forms his/her cabinet from
among members of the National Assembly and the Senate. Provinces
have their own elected legislative assemblies and Chief Ministers.
Majority of the members of the Senate are elected by the Provincial
Assemblies. |
