How does it change in a sentence?

Pakistan is a neuter noun.

/ˈpaːkɪsˌtaːn/

In German, the name 'Pakistan' is a linguistic exception in many textbooks because it lacks a required article, unlike 'die Schweiz' or 'die Türkei'.
German news reports often refer to the 'Pakistan-Konflikt' or 'Pakistan-Krise', using a hyphenated compound noun to link the country name directly to the event.
When a German speaker says they are 'in Pakistan', they do not use the word 'im', which is a contraction of 'in dem' used for most neuter nouns.
