Pre-2024 History - In 2018 former Prime Minister and leader of the opposition Khaleda Zia was arrested for charges of high corruption and treason. She would die in Jail before the years end in what many would connect back to the then-current Awami League party chairman and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Sheikh Hasina would continue her popular economic strategy in Bangladesh over the course of the year, but in July 2019, she shut down a popular newspaper in Dhaka for reporting on the death of Khaleda Zia. The UN Human Rights Council immediately condemned the actions of the country, and a population growing increasingly sick of the political establishment began to turn their backs on the Awami League. Sheikh Hasina would have a heart attack at the age of 72 and would be rushed to a hospital in Singapore where she would die. The party was in shambles, the Awami League struggled to find a successful replacement as Sheikh Hasina's daughter refused to accept the position of Prime Minister. In the end the party would jointly agree on Nazmul Hassan Papon, a constituent and the head of the cricket federation.
Papon was no doubt an odd choice, but his father was a famous Prime Minister of Bangladesh and he was well connected but not so much so as to connect him to much of the corruption and failures of the old administration. He immediately began to take the party in a new direction, as he had quite a western mind set. He created the Bangladeshi Commission Against Corruption or B-CAC for short. The B-CAC body operated with a great deal of autonomy and served to protect whistle blowers against retribution for reporting corruption. It also had an investigative body to provide evidence for corruption trials and cases. Many popular members of the old administration came under inspection and were jailed including Sheikh Hasina's daughter, many former ministers, and local officials.
In 2022 Papon announced plans to modernize many of the nations citizens over the next 2 decades, and announced goals to provide every citizen in the country electricity, wi-fi, and clean water by 2032. "These three factors" he said "will provide the nation with everything it needs to succeed economically and socially and will ensure it becomes a competitive power in the region by the decades end." The announcement of the plan would boost party popularity enough that by the 2023 elections, this coupled with continued infrastructure projects and the anti corruption campaigns, would give the Awami League 74% of the Seats in the Parliament.

Basically in the alternate history the Kurdish and Iraqi government merged to form a US-like system, and the two militaries merged, as well as government programs that boosted the number of personnels. I will complete the history section later (it's still WIP). But if that is too much then we could just use present day stat's

Iraqi Kurdistan is independent here, and you can’t annex other nations in your history. You can certainly try to propose that ICly, but you can’t start off owning Kurdistan.

Okay well then, I'll just drop the history and excess military numbers. Is my app accepted now?

Major Domestic Issues: For many years Iran has been plagued by an economic crisis, and dealing with that has been a constant struggle. On the one hand it provided the country with unique opportunities to become more self sufficient, on the other hand they failed to meet export goals and foreign investors stayed away from the country. The economic crisis is still an issue that has a high priority in Iran.
Second to the economic crisis is the current discontent of the people. For many years the government has become less and less popular, but never to the point of 2020 which seemed to be a turning point for the people. This never happened though as the harsh crackdowns were successful and the protests eventually faded away. It doesn't take away the peoples low support and even lower trust in the government though, which is something the government has to work on if they want to stay in power.
Major Foreign Issues: The most important foreign issue remains the nuclear issue. Even though the 2015 nuclear deal still exists on paper, it has all but faded in reality. After the U.S. withdrew and Europe failed to meet its obligations Iran slowely started to breach the deal as well. Whether the old deal can still be saved or a new deal has to be made remains to be seen.
Second is Syria, a country that fought a brutal war for over a decade. From the beginning Iran supported the legitimate government of Syria and has continued to do so till victory was declared. After the withdrawl of most troops out of Syria Iran has set its eye on the payback of its aid to Syria.
[Only if the Iraq player gets accepted] Third comes Iraq, a rather difficult story. After Iran aided Iraq in the war against Daesh, Iraq seems to have set its eyes on another path, one unfavorable for Iran. So far Iran has remained relative quiet about the matter, only supporting large scale protests against the government in Baghdad. Perhaps the matter can be resolved peacefully, or perhaps Iran has to give the green light to its militia's in Iraq to take over. All options are on the table.
Other foreign issues that are still ongoing involve Palestine, Yemen and Afghanistan.
Pre-2024 History:
2020 was the year of Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752 and the COVID-19 outbreak, a year in which the peoples trust in the government hit an all time low. Protests emerged spontaneous and government crackdows made short work of them. By the summer an estimated 1.000 people had been killed in protests by security forces. Eventually things calmed down again, but the trust was nowhere to be seen. The Iranian legislative election hit an all time low with only a 43% turnout.
The 2021 Iranian presidential election was won by Eshaq Jahangiri with 52% of the votes, he followed in Rouhani's footsteps and planned to continue the reformist agenda.
In 2023 Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was diagnosed with abdominal cancer, which became clear after several hospitalizations. His prayer shortly before was the last time he appeared in public. People have been growing restless ever since, some even speculating his death.
2023 was also the year in which Iran withdrew most of its troops from Syria. Some 3.000 troops returned home while the other 2.000 stayed to man Iran's newly acquired bases.

Putting the paramilitary as a part of the armed forces is a tad misleading since that 11 million figure is debated, but that doesn't really matter. I would, either now or in your first post, have the Ayatollah name a successor; probably one who's like him, since I can't see that he would be dying and have no replacement in mind. Other than that, accepted.

Turkmenistan Army
What do you call three scared cooks armed with pop guns? The Army. The military has mostly gone ignored, with the Army receiving important neglect. The military generals that stick to their posts are really only their either as nepotism like appointments by Gurby or aging war heroes from WWII that somehow aren't dead yet. Besides the octogenarians to centenarians marching until their pacemakers implode, the average soldier is fairly shit with the clusterfuck of weapons that are handed out.
While yes, the army could theoretically have close to three million soldiers at arm with massed conscription,Gurby has been talked out of having every man woman and child participate in the army to make the numbers look better. This is owing to the lack of equipment that even the regular army struggles at. While domestic production of military clothes is sluggish,owing to exports of lucrative cotton and funded from the oil pipelines that cross into China and Russia, the purchase of some other nation's rifle or military uniform has proven to be easy as pie. Every Turkmen's uniforms or even traditional clothes have a made in china sticker somewhere embedded onto them. He's mostly kept his military strength for marching displays during the various national holidays he has declared.
Military Tanks and Armored equipment? You mean whatever the hell Russia had on sale during the Soviet Union "Going out of business" liquidation? Yeah the seven glorious Turkmen Armored Divisions are made up of the bargain bin of old cold war technology, including the famous T-34/85,T-55, T-64,T-72 and T-80. There has been no attempt so far at even experimenting with a domestic Turkmen tank industry.
Turkmenistan Navy
Wait! Isn't Turkmenistan landlock-shh, don't tell Gurby that. He's sunk thousands of TMTs into a new fleet of patrol craft, with him even boasting of building a battleship. The SS Fuck Uzbekistan is nothing more than a glorified patrol boat, though it is the largest vessel of the fleet and flagship. Despite his ignorance in naval affairs, he has been keen to expand the navy to more than would be needed for a near landlocked state. Oh, and he attempted to convince Carnival cruise lines to sell him one of their cruise ships, though when your diplomats throw their own shit during negotiations, that's bound to not be entirely successful.
Turkmenistan Air Force
In a stunning turn of events, Turkmenistan lacks an airforce, owing to a sudden and spontaneous decision by President Gorby to scrap every remaining plane. He explained his events in a dream where he was flying a plane and it caught fire and crashed, killing him in the dream. With such solid logic behind him, Turkmenistan overnight got rid of their airforce, selling off the planes with a barrel of crude oil to boost profits for Gurby's statue making business. That's not to say Turkmenistan doesn't have an international airport or even a fleet of civilian airliners that could be pressed into service as transport planes, so while there is no air force on paper, Gurby can will the civilians along with it to make something appear out of thin air (or within a few months, logistics permitting) if the situation calls for it.
Currency - Turkman New Manat (TMT)
Currency and value of currency compared to USD - $1= 5 TMT
Major import/export partners - Russia, China
Major Domestic Issues - Stagnating Economy, bread lines, making sure the people don't revolt against Gurby-senpai, Gurby's personal health and possible succession crisis
Major Foreign Issues - Whatever the Fuck Russia is doing, ETLO recognition, Balancing relations between Russia and China
Pre-2024 History - By far the most pressing concern for Gorby will be whether or not he recognizes the East Turkestan Liberation Organization as a terrorist group. On one hand, the immense funds and machines from China will dry up, forcing him to turn to Russia for support in building up the economy and military machinery of Turkmenistan. This has remained a rather large obstacle for diplomatic relations, though possible channels for improvement may open themselves up, possibly with Indian investment or begrudgingly asking the Europeans for economic aid with no conditions of "increasing transparency and lowering corruption". The current position has been one of careful diplomacy, staged photos with Chinese leaders and pledges and backing from all sides for x policy or y business deal.
As Gurbanguly reaches his seventies, there is increasing concern as to who would be the successor. Two of the most prominent choices are his own son Serdar, the current Minister of Foreign Affairs and the first female high ranking military general Akgul Tawas. Sedar, while beloved by the President, has been a rather incompetent choice for Serdar, with him misunderstanding the meaning of foreign affairs with numerous international flings with several celebrities, local politicians and one night stands with former us congressmen and women who were there to "certify" the legitimacy of Gorby's election to a second term in 2017. Tawas, on the other hand, enjoys much support from the armed forces old guard, and would be very much supported by the general population as a chance of pace over the possible implementation of a family dynasty. As a third term approaches this year in 2024, he is expected to cruise to an easy victory, though possible problems with dissent may plague his administration, and lead to the weakening of his iron fisted grip over the nation, with an unthinkable military coup already being grumbled about by sources close to Tawas.
