This quiz traverses the geography, history, sport, food and culture of the world's fifth most populous nation.

You'll cover Pakistan's provinces and capitals, the 1947 partition and Muhammad Ali Jinnah, K2 and the Karakoram, Mughal Lahore, Mohenjo-daro and the Indus Valley, cricket legends from Imran Khan to Babar Azam, hockey golds, Malala Yousafzai, biryani and nihari, and Pakistan's complex political history.
Islamabad has been the capital of Pakistan since the 1960s. It was a planned city built to replace Karachi as the federal capital, and is known for its grid layout, gardens and views of the Margalla Hills.
K2 is 8,611 metres tall, making it the world's second-highest mountain after Mount Everest. It sits in the Karakoram on the border between Pakistan's Gilgit-Baltistan and China's Xinjiang.
Muhammad Ali Jinnah, known as Quaid-e-Azam ('Great Leader'), led the All-India Muslim League and is regarded as the founder of Pakistan. He became the country's first Governor-General when Pakistan gained independence on 14 August 1947, and died the following year.
