The central Takistan is mountainous and undeveloped, with only larger settlement being the regional capital city of Zargabad located in the northern part of province. Majority of the settlements is concentrated in the irrigated „green zones“ in the valleys.

The other notable towns are Rasman and Feruz Abad, recently growing due to the expansion of the crude-oil production and exploatation of the large coltan deposits discovered in the mountains.

 

The Takistan is a country of many contrasts: pictoresque villages set in an astounding scenery can be found only few steps from the oil plants, dirty dumps or the torn remnants of the decades of civil war.
