Flag of Pakistan
The flag of Pakistan is composed of a white vertical band on its hoist side that takes up about one-fourth the width of the field and a dark green rectangular area that spans the rest of the field. A white fly-side facing crescent and five-pointed star are centered in the dark green area.
Where it is
Pakistan is grouped in Southern Asia, within Roam’s Asia region. Its land-border list includes 4 countries in this atlas: Afghanistan, China, India, Iran. The source classifies it as not landlocked.
Pakistan has a recorded area of 796,095 square kilometres. Among the 9 countries assigned to Southern Asia in this dataset, it ranks 3 by area, from largest to smallest. Iran is immediately above it in that ordering, at 1,648,195 km². Afghanistan is immediately below it, at 652,230 km². This comparison uses the source’s area figures and subregions, not a ranking of all territories.
The marker shows the atlas location. Small countries may be too small for an outline at this scale. Map boundaries are illustrative.
People, languages and currency
The World Bank records 255,219,554 people for Pakistan in 2025. This is the latest non-empty annual observation in Roam’s committed 2020–2025 download, rather than a live population counter. Dividing that population by the source area gives approximately 321 people per square kilometre. This calculated average does not describe how evenly people are distributed.
The language entries in the source are English and Urdu. They describe the dataset’s listed languages, not every language spoken by residents. The currency listed for this date is Pakistani Rupee (PKR). Currency assignments are selected from Unicode CLDR’s date ranges for 23 October 2026; the three-letter codes identify currencies, not countries.
