Tibet (Tibetan: བོད་ Bod) is a country situated in the Tibetan plateau region. Although the country is located near in the Soviet Central Asia, Tibet is considered for a long time as a South Asian country. Tibet has established strong economic and military cooperation with its southern neighbors, such India and Pakistan, instead with more closer Uyghurstan or the Soviet Union. Tibet is bordered by Uyghurstan to the north, China to the east and India, Bhutan, Nepal and Burma to the south.
Tibet is the highest country on earth, with an average elevation of 4900 metres. It is sometimes referred to as the "roof of the world". Tibet is also considered as the "Asian frontier of anti-communism" due to its closeness with Uyghurstan and its status as a Buddhist theocracy that maintains a close relations with "Free World" nations, such the United Kingdom. Tibetan cultural influences extend to the neighboring states of Bhutan, Nepal, regions of India such as Sikkim, Ladakh, Lahaul, and Spiti, in addition to designated Tibetan autonomous areas in adjacent Chinese provinces.
