Tibet (Tibetan: བོད་ Bod) is a country situated in the Tibetan plateau region. Although the country is located near in Soviet Central Asia, Tibet is considered for a long time as a South Asian country. Tibet has established strong cultural and economic cooperation with its southern neighbors, such India and Pakistan, instead with more closer Altishahr or the Soviet Union. Tibet also has strong cultural ties with neighboring China despite turmultous relations over centuries, including the 1962 Sino-Tibetan border conflicts. Tibet is bordered by Altishahr to the north, China to the east and India 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 "highest frontier of anti-communism" due to its closeness with Altishahr 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 neighboring India and its regions, such as Nepal, Bhutan, Sikkim, Ladakh, Lahaul, and Spiti, in addition to designated Tibetan-populated areas in adjacent China.
