Italian foreign policy is a fucking mess, I won't lie. Of course the EU is going to be the main bloc you do shit with where's that eurobond meeting, but other than that the consensus is difficult. The rightists in Italy tend to be not very fond of France especially, I think France actually recalled their ambassador or something last year over it. Generally though I imagine you'd be seeking a sort of detente with Russia, even though Virumaa made that more unpopular it was still one of the FSM's stated objectives. Though you're pretty friendly with China, you and Greece tend to be the main advocate for things like the BRI and the both of you blocked an EU resolution to condemn China on their treatment of the Ughyurs in 2018.

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.

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.

The only modifications I would make are specifying that your government is a "Semi-Presidential Republic" since "democracy" is a vague term and changing the party in power to "Servant of the People" since that's Zelensky's party and they control a majority in the Verkhovna Rada, makes sense. Other than that, looks good. Accepted.

Now I had this quirky idea in my head a while back, but what do y'all think about replacing the USD as the reserve currency to using special drawing rights (XDR) as the reserve instead? XDRs represent a claim to currency held by IMF members, but isn't necessarily currency itself. The value is based off of a basket of five currencies including the USD, Euro, Renminbi, Yen, and the Pound.

Major Domestic Issues - Maintaining the status quo of the Kingdom and dealing with Separatism and increasing the overall economy of the country
Major Foreign Issues - Keep the EU together while also maintaining international influence and looking to expand it

Pre-2024 History
Spain once the envy of the world has slowly lost that status over centuries, where it was an empire of such scale no one could challenge it, it was now just a state on the continent of Europe. Stagnation both political and economic lead Spain down this route their inability or will to change would be its main cause until the end of the Franco Era.

However that would change following his death. The now Kingdom of Spain wanted to create a new modern, and economically prosperous state and has sought to advance itself in the world. The country would do this by becoming a major part of the EU and increasing its industrial capacity. However troubles would reach in the nation in 2018, with the onset of Catalonia separatism Spain would do anything in its power to keep its economic powerhouse province in line and loyal to Madrid. While the issue remains hidden and tucked away due to their lack of international support it would seem that the calls for independence still remain on the minds of many.

Spain has also looked to increase the nations presence especially after the Virumaa Crisis Spain saw to help to rebuild a new defence block for the defence of Europe after the collapse of NATO. In this regard Spain has continued to improve it military with a set of new Military Reforms that are currently being discussed

China has always been a huge advocate of the XDR, I had an idea of pushing something similar but I forgot about it until now. Yeah I'd definitely work on getting that implemented, fuck the USD.
