Tabaristan isn't a province of Iran as far as I can tell, it's just a region and Kohistan is a district of KPK province in Pakistan, I guess I should specify that only first-level subdivisions count

Uyghuristan and Kurdistan are not first-level subdivisions so much as proposed states, so I'm not sure if that's quite the specification you want to go with.

Tabaristan *used* to be a real administrative region, and it is probably impossible to name all historic -stans, so maybe there's something there that would be more apt.

Also you probably should put a note about one of the -stans being a -sthan, for the sake of clarity.

Fun quiz! Are you sure that Uyghuristan is a recognized name of that province? The official name is Xinjiang.

Nice quiz! Does Waziristan no longer exist in Pakistan? Also it might be cool to add Hayastan for Armenia.

Waziristan is a former agency of Pakistan but is now part ok KPK and i don't think ill add Hayastan since it is not a common name for Armenia

Could you possibly accept Turkestan for Turkistan considering East Turkestan is accepted
