Neo Byzantines: As if a ghost from the past, a new Byzantine Empire has risen at the same time that Iran has risen to power once again. Knowing the history that these two nations have, Iran remains on high alert with Byzantium, hoping to delay the inevitable war between them as much as possible. Byelorusian Empire: No significant opinion Russia: Iran watches Russia for any movement they make in the Central Asia region. However, with Kazakhstan as a buffer, Russia is of little consequence for Iran at the moment. The two have been less than friendly due to the large influx of Islamic terrorist groups fleeing to avoid being sent to death camps in the Hindu Kush mountains created to purge Iran of terror groups in its territories. Neo Hungaria: Iran looks to Hungary as a potential ally in the Balkan, to help in keeping the Byzantines in check. Iran is working on cultivating amicable relations with Neo-Hungaria. Patriots: Iran is critical of the Fascist policies of Patriotic America, but due to their distance, they are of little interest, but under watch. Kazakhstan: Iran exerts great influence in manipulating the Kazakh government into being their unofficial March to keep Russia away from Iranian interests. Iraq: Iraq is a state in shambles, and has already felt the sting of having territory torn from them by Iran after loosing Kurdistan and Assyria in World War 3. In another call back to history, it could be that Iran will once again take Iraq as Cyrus did Babylon in the dawn of their civilization.
