History of the Nation:
2046 sparked the end of the tumultuous Islamic Republic of Iran. Iran's foreign relations had completely deteriorated by this point, with rebel groups starting to crop up all over the nation. The most important of these was the Communist Party of Iran, an unusual group with western backing that quickly overshadowed all of its competitors in the fight for control of Iran. Comming out of Iranian Kurdistan, ready to take down the government that they had seen as a vicious tyranny plaguing the nation for far too long. The Iranian Civil War lasted for a good 3 years, with the Communist Rebels and the Iranian Armed Forces fighting for control of the Nation. Eventually, the war came to an end, with the Communists victorious. The Islamic Republic was abolished, it's leaders put to death, and a new state declared, The Iranian People's Republic.
For the first time in a long while, it seemed that Iran had begun to develop warm relations with the western nations, who had long been stringent enemies to them. The economy of Iran benefited greatly, from a new influx of trade relations and the rapid take over of the nation's production centers by the government. Iran quickly got to work at improving upon the infrastucture they had, and by the time that World War 3 set in, the new Iran was more than capable of holding her own against newfound enemies in that would rise up in the Middle East.
In the New World War, Iran took advantage of its markedly improved military to easily occupy and subjugate neighboring Afghanistan, as well as take control of the Region of Iraqi Kurdistan as their western neighbor began to completely crumble in the conflict. In an attempt to secure new land to develop upon once the war was over, Iran turned her armies north towards Central Asia, and was able to convince most of the states there to enter a union with Iran, calling back to their historical ties, their cultural contributions to each other, and finally, pointing to the fact that to their north lay Russia, and that the Iranians could promise much better treatment than what Russia would. With this, Iran was able to incorporate Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, but was forced to go to war with Turkmenistan, who refused the invitation, and tried to take back the other two neighbors from Iran to prevent it from being enclaved within Iranian borders. Ultimately, Turkmenistan was defeated and annexed into Iran.
By the End of the War, Iran's borders had grown considerably, and the new state decided to take a page out of the Soviet handbook for the urbanization and modernization of their newly gained Central Asian states, as well as to the reconstruction and stabilization of Afghanistan. By way of mass settlements of Persians from Iran into Central Asia and Afghanistan, as well as government programs focused on Urbanization in the Steppe, the new Iranian Government has urbanized most of their Central Asian regions, begun programs to irrigate and settle the Karakum Desert, and developed a stable governance in Afghanistan, as well as a mass extermination of terrorist and extremist groups from the region. Iran emerges as a very stable and powerful state in the Middle-East, with World Power status and potentially on its way to superpower in the future. Perhaps an unintentional boom came as a result of one nation's tragedy, as when the Byzantines began their purges of the Turkish popuation, hundreds of thousands of Turkish refugees poured into Iran across the Iranian-Byzantine Border, flooding mostly into the Assyria and Kurdistan governates. However, due to the inability of these regions to sustain the refugees, and with the frontier-lands in the newly urbanizing Central Asian regions, the Iranian government began the rapid movement and resettlement of Turkish refugees into the territories of former Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan, due to their similarities in language and culture, and these Turks have contributed greatly in the growth of the central Asian regions of the nation.
Main Race:Persians are the majority Ethnic group of Iran, who have begun spreading far beyond their homelands in Iran proper and out into the farthest peripheries of the State. Persian settlers have been moving out into Central Asia not long after the territories were incorporated into the new state, in an attempt to iranify the Turkic regions, and to reconnect and reassimilate the Tajiki peoples in the far north.

Main Religion:There is no official state religion in Iran, as per the result of the revolution against the Islamic Republic. Islam is the most widely practiced religion.

Another change in demographics has been the rebirth of Zoroastrianism, brought about by the allowance of conversions out of Islam, as well as the Iranian government's decision to allow the Right of Return for all Iranian Zoroastrians and their descendants.
