its unique culture and extremely dry desert
climate. Baloch people practice Islam and are
predominantly Sunni, similar to the rest of Pakistan.
The main ethnic groups in the province are the Baloch
people and the Pashtuns, who constitute 46% and 42% of the population respectively
according to the preliminary 2011 census; the remaining 12% comprises
smaller communities of Brahui, Hazaras, Sindhis, Punjabis and other settlers such as the Uzbeks and Turkmens. The name Balochistan means "the land of the Baloch" in many
regional languages. Largely underdeveloped, its provincial economy is dominated
by natural resources, especially its natural gas fields estimated to have sufficient capacity to supply
Pakistan's demands over the medium to long term. Aside from Quetta, a further
area of major economic importance is Gwadar
Port on the Arabian Sea.
