Paktya, Afghanistan

High score (8-10)

Paktya is a southeastern province centered on Gardez, a city that had some NGO presence and was more functional than the deeper tribal southeast. The Pashtun tribal jirga culture here is strong and historically self-governing. Under Taliban control, it's a conservative, closed province with no social infrastructure for outsiders.

Mid score (6-8) · Your profile

Paktya's Gardez had more institutional presence than most southeastern provinces due to its relative accessibility. That didn't create social openness — it was always conservative — and under Taliban governance it's fully closed to outside social engagement.
