The Frontier Regions (often abbreviated as FR) of Pakistan were a group of small administrative units in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), lying immediately to the east of the seven main tribal agencies and west of the settled districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Each of the Frontier Regions was named after an adjoining settled district and was administered by the district coordination officer (DCO) of that adjacent district.[1] The overall administration of the Frontier Regions was carried out by the FATA Secretariat based in Peshawar, the capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The six Frontier Regions were:
| Region | DCO[2] | Area (km2)[2] | Population[2] | Population density (inh. per km2) |
