Afghanistan was an Earth nation-state.
In the 1980s, Afghanistan was the site of a war launched by the Soviet Union that Mikhail Gorbachev was unwilling to continue. At one point, there were rumors that Khan Noonien Singh fought alongside the Afghan rebels who were trying to stop the Soviet invasion. (TOS novel: The Rise and Fall of Khan Noonien Singh, Volume 1)
