The Princely States of Shimlar and Pashmir, commonly known as Shimlar and Pashmir, or Shimlar-Pashmir, is a landlocked sovereign nation located at the crossroads of Central Ochran consisting of Pashmiristan and Shimlar. Referred to as the Heart of Ochran, it is bordered by Ankat to the South, and Untsangasar to the North. Occupying approximately 851,000 km2 (328,573 sq mi) of land, the country is predominantly mountainous, with plains in the north separated from the rest of the nation by the Shangri-Shimla mountain range.
Shimlar and Pashmir's strategic location along the historic Jade Road has led it to being described, picturesquely, as the ‘roundabout of the ancient world'. Popularly referred to as the graveyard of empires, the land has historically been home to various peoples and has witnessed numerous military campaigns, including the Bayarids, Jade Road, and Uluujol empires before gaining autonomy during the fragmentation of the Uluujol Empire.
The breakup of Uluujol saw the emergence of two principalities, the southern princely state of Shimlar, and the northern tribes of Pashmiristan. The modern nation of Shimlar and Pashmir emerged when a alliance of Pashmiri tribes conquered the southern Shimlar principality, annexing the region, and installing the Simlar Mir, as ceremonial ruler of the newly unified nation.
Shimlar and Pashmir is prominently rich in natural resources, including lapis lazuli, aquamarine, Pashmiri wool, cotton, and opium.
