The Republic of Balochistan is a country located in South Asia

History
Balochistan has been a strategic location, being the crossroads between South Asia and the Middle East. They are populated by an Iranic people group known as the Baloch. They’ve been under numerous empires, including the Mughal, Durrani, and the British. Post-independence, they’ve been incorporated into Pakistan. After the Bengali War, the people of Balochistan have also began to show desires of independence, seeing how genocide was committed against the Bengalis. In 1981, Pakistan collapsed. Then, there were plans to set up an independent country in Balochistan. This dream has been realized in 1988, but only partially. Although several Balochs from Iran fled to help Balochistan gain independence, they still want Western Balochistan. The current ruling party is known for their irredentism, progressive reforms, and openness to business and free trade, making it a common place for ships going through the Indian Ocean to stop in. Balochistan has a free market economy, although it is still subjected to state involvement and regulations, to combat any errors that could occur.

Despite this, the country is authoritarian. They often justify it by saying that democracy is bad for a country which has gone through a history of turmoil.
