It is the 36th biggest territory by total locality whereas this grading varies counting on how the argued territory of Kashmir is counted. Apart from the 1,046 km (650 mi) seashore along the Arabian Sea, Pakistan's land boundaries a total of 6,774 km (4,209 mi)—2,430 km (1,510 mi) with Afghanistan, 523 km (325 mi) with China, 2,912 km (1,809 mi) with India and 909 km (565 mi) with Iran. The territory it controls mostly lies between latitudes 23° and 37° N (a little locality is north of 37°), and longitudes 61° and 78° E (a little locality is west of 61°).
