Territory
The Dominion of Pakistan was a federation of five provinces: East Bengal (later to become Bangladesh), West Punjab, Balochistan, Sindh, and the North-West Frontier Province (NWFP). In addition, those Princely States which were enclaves within those provinces also joined the federation: these included Bahawalpur, Khairpur, Swat, Dir, Hunza, Chitral, Makranand, and the Khanate of Kalat. Each province had its own Governor, who was appointed by the Governor-General of Pakistan, the representative of the king of Pakistan.
