The flag of Pakistan.

Pakistan is a country in South Asia. It is the world’s sixth-most populous country with a population exceeding 212,742,631 people.[1] In area, it is the 33rd-largest country, spanning 881,913 square kilometres (340,509 square miles). Pakistan has a 1,046-kilometre (650-mile) coastline along the Arabian Sea and Gulf of Oman in the south and is bordered by India to the east, Afghanistan to the west, Iran to the southwest, and China in the northeast. It is separated narrowly from Tajikistan by Afghanistan's Wakhan Corridor in the northwest, and also shares a maritime border with Oman.

The region makes its first official Bond appearance in the finale of the 1987 James Bond film, The Living Daylights. After James Bond hijacks a Soviet plane in Afghanistan transporting raw opium, he discovers that it is running out of fuel and is forced to perform an emergency touch-and-go landing in Pakistan; bailing out of the crashing aircraft in a jeep. He and his love interest Kara Milovy find themselves 200km from Karachi (where 007 knows a great restaurant). In the 1997 film, Tomorrow Never Dies, a senior executive of the Carver Media Group Network reports that his division is responsible for several floods in Pakistan. In the 2006 film, Casino Royale, Bond earns his stripes in the '00' Branch by killing a traitorous Section Chief's contact in a bathroom in Lahore, Pakistan. His first kill in the semi-rebooted film series. In the 2011 Java racing video game 007: License to Drive, the arms dealer Thierry Cogney intends to start a war between Pakistan and India.
