[Soviet Chernarus]

Basics
Informal Name of Nation: Iran
Formal Name of your Nation: Islamic Republic of Iran

Population: 83 million

Flag: Flag of Iran
Territory: Territory of Iran
Capital City: Tehran

Government
Head of State: Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei
Head of Government: President Hassan Rouhani

Government Classification: Islamic republic
Brief Explanation of Government: A self-proclaimed Islamic Republic with theocratic and democratic elements, executive authority is effectively concentrated in the hands of the Supreme Leader and the President. The Supreme Leader assumes judicial powers, and oversees both the President and the government. He also bears significant religious authority. The President is generally the one who manages to day-to-day operations of the government. Both the President and the Parliament are elected for four-year terms via popular vote. A Guardian Council is responsible for managing a vetting process for electoral candidates, although it has been criticized for contributing to unfair and dubious practices. An Assembly of Experts is the body responsible for appointing a new Supreme Leader if the old one dies.
Governing Ideology: Iranian Revolutionary ideology

Civil Rights: 4/10
Political Freedom: 5/10
Economical Freedom: 4/10

Demographics
Religion Breakdown: 90% Shi'ite, 9% Sunni, 1% other (includes Christianity)
Ethnic Breakdown: 61% Persian, 16% Azerbaijanis, 10% Kurdish, 6% Lur, 7% Other

Economics
GDP: 412 billion USD
GDP/Per Capita: 5,124 USD
Foreign Trade Description: Foreign trade in Iran is dominated by oil, which comprises a majority of the country's exports. Despite a previous attempt to increase self-sufficiency and reduce dependence on trade, Iran has gradually begun to open up more to the west in the aftermath of the Iran Deal and the lifting of sanctions. Growing foreign investment and trade agreements with Europe and China have largely proven to be beneficial to the Iranian economy.
General Economic Description: As the second-largest economy in the Middle East, Iran is an economic power in its own right. It continues to grow at a steady rate in the aftermath of the Iran Deal, although this agreement has been put into jeopardy with the election of Donald Trump as POTUS. The Iranian economy faces many shortcomings, and a lack of transparency and corruption on the part of the clergy remain constant problems. Government investment favors large state-run corporations and businesses, rather than private businesses, especially in the financial sector. A series of burdensome regulations and a lack of economic freedoms significantly hinder the development of the private sector.

Military Information
Military Branches: The Islamic Republic of Iran Army (which includes the Islamic Republic of Iran Navy and the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force), Army of the Guardians of the Islamic Revolution, Law Enforcement Force of Islamic Republic of Iran
Description of Armed Forces: Largely operating as a defensive force, the Iranian Armed Forces have sometimes been hailed as one of the strongest militaries in the Middle East. In reality, however, it suffers from a lack of standardized and often outdated equipment and weaponry, due to an arms embargo. This has resulted in deficiencies when it comes to offensive capabilities, with Iran unable to sustain protracted campaigns of foreign soil. Tensions with the United States, Israel and Saudi Arabia, have caused Iran to pursue unconventional tactics, particularly in the development of ballistic missiles, UAVs, and the enhancement of national cyberwarfare and nuclear capabilities.

Despite these weaknesses, Iran still boasts a number of strengths. The lack of a blue water navy has lead to the nation's maritime forces being primarily focused on coastal defense, relying on swarms of smaller vessels and boats to overwhelm the enemy. The Revolutionary Guards and other militias are trained in guerilla warfare, which, coupled with the country's terrain and geography, would make any invasion extremely costly. Increased military cooperation with Russia and China has paved a new path in regards to the future of the Iranian armed forces, and the government has sought to address problems in the military's weaponry and equipment, bolstering offensive abilities. However, many of the resources and funds that would have been ordinarily directed towards the military have instead been funneled into a proxy conflict with Saudi Arabia. Shi'ite groups, rebels, and organizations in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and Yemen have received covert aid from the Iranian government.
