Description

Excerpted from the website:

Afghanistan, now officially known as Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, a country in southwestern Asia, bounded on the north by Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan; on the east by China and the part of the disputed territory of Jammu and Kashmir controlled by Pakistan; on the south by Pakistan; and on the west by Iran.
