My bet is that pakistan will wind up with Eastasia, but if they're willing to cozy up with india, I'll admit they have an excellent shot, as a legacy admit, to join Oceania.

> if they're willing to cozy up with india

The Indian nationalists have been dreaming up such a situation since basically forever (so long as Pakistanis were willing to give up that whole pesky Islam thing), but let's just say that current relations aren't necessarily cozy. How would such a situation change?

It would have to change, if pakistan were to side with the commonwealth instead of promoting a trade route through Karachi that could cut out the middleman of Singapore and the Strait of Malacca. But I think we both think that with a few of those size "ifs" we could put Paris in a bottle.
