Shimlar and Pashmir is a landlocked sovereign nation located at the crossroads of Central Ochran. 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'. The region has historically been home to various peoples and witnessed numerous military campaigns, leading to it popularly referred to as 'the graveyard of empires'. The modern nation of Shimlar and Pashmir evolved from a series of annexations and unions of historic semi-autonomous polity's in the late 18th century.
Shimlar and Pashmir is prominently rich in natural resources, including lapis lazuli, Aquamarine (gem), and Pashmiri wool, as well as a developing opium industry.
