Pashtunistan (Pashto:پښتونستان, Pax̌tūnstān), officially the Islamic Emirate of Pashtunistan (د پښتونستان اسلامي امارت, Da Pax̌tūnstān Islāmī Jomhoriyat), is a landlocked country at the crossroads of Central and South Asia. It borders Pakistan to the east, Balochistan to the south, Iran to the west, Hazaristan to the north and Tajikistan to the northeast.
