Sezipotium

Sezipotium (Sezipotine: Sezijopium) officialy the People's Republic of Sezipotium (Sezipotine: Du Ejerona' Republikka Du Sezijopium) is a soverign state in Eastern Europe and the Middle East. The state is governed by the Socialist Party of Sezipotium (Du Pirejona Du Sezijopium) based in the capital in Zipose (Sezijopose). With 18 states and 3 direct controlled municipalities (Zipose, Ekzosub, Zarflame City). Sezipotium is a great power in its region, and is considered to be a growing great power in all the World.

Covering approx. 1,904,445 km2 it is the world's 15th largest country in all the world. Its landscape has many plains and mountains, from the Juzek Plains in the north, to the Zabahajerel Mountains in the south from what used to be Northern Iran. It has no costline, altough if counting the Caspian Sea it would only have 2,584 km.

Most of its land has been habitated by nomad tribes since the starts of civilization, and was home to the Proto-Elamite and Elamite cultures. The area was first unified by the Iranian Medes in 625 BC, who became the dominant cultural and political power in the region. The southern region of Sezipotium reached its greatest geographic extent during the Achaemenid Empire founded by Cyrus the Great in 550 BC, which at one time stretched from parts of Eastern Europe in the west, to the Indus Valley in the east, making it the largest empire the world had yet seen.

After many years, the state of Sejuh was started, which is the southern region of Sezipotium now. Beginning in 633 AD, Rashidun Arabs conquered Sejuh and largely displaced the indigenous faiths of Manichaeism and Zoroastrianism by Sunni Islam. Sejuh became a major contributor to the Islamic Golden Age that followed, producing many influential scientists, scholars, artists, and thinkers. The rise of the Safavid Dynasty in 1501 led to the establishment of Twelver Shia Islam as the official religion of Sejuh, the state that used to be in the southern part of Sezipotium, marking one of the most important turning points in Iranian and Muslim history.

In the 13th century, when Genghis Khan occupied the country as part of the Mongolian Empire. Following internal struggles among the conquerors, power eventually reverted to the nomads. By the 16th century, the Kazakh (Now north of Sezipotium) emerged as a distinct group, divided into three jüz (ancestor branches occupying specific territories).
