Islamic Republic of Iran (Loyalist) | Republican Coalition of Iran (Opposition)
 * Government:
 * (Loyalist) 2033 Election and Election reformations : In 2028, Estafahni had sent reformations proposed for the election removing term limits in an effort to remain in power to defeat the rebels - to which he had a personal agenda for. He believed that "The war was started from me, so I want to end it". A shaken and divided legislative branch coalesced around this and passed the reformations. This was heavily critisized by many residents in Iran, who began to see increases in sympathy for rebels and opposition forces. The 2033 election resulted in the turnout of almost 61% of voters.  He won a fourth term, after winning 3 other elections in the past (2021, 2025, 2029).
 * (Opposition) Division and Government Reforms: During the ceasefire that started back in 2031, most of the rebel forces united to form the Republican Coalition of Iran, an alliance/confederacy of rebel forces. By 2033, they had successfully held its first elections shortly after forming the "Federal Republic of Iran" (but still kept RCI in respect to non-gov rebel forces). Unsurprisingly, Goli Yasmin Sarrans won the election, making her the first Female President of Iran (if the federal gov. wins). However, despite this election. There are still many divisions from the loose coalition of rebel forces. Kurds, for example, are wildcards - despite being part of the government, they mostly act on their own accord. Human rights abuses generate tension within the rebel government when Kurdish soldiers targeted ethnic persian/iranian citizens.

 * Conflicts
 * Iran Civil War: Since early 2031, after much bloodshed and stalemates, the Opposition and Loyalist Governments had agreed for a ceasefire (but only between them). Wanting to join in too, the other rebel groups gradually joined the opposition government to take advantage of the peace to recuperate as well (including the Kurds, who joined for various reasons, and was promised independence). Knowing that they could not win the war at this rate, not without help. However, the ceasefire may be broken soon as the rebels plan for a dangerous campaign across Iranian fields.
 * Economy:
 * Both sides have a wartime economy. Although, the Opposition forces are more hurt by the recent recession due to foreign companies and other funds having more trouble giving weapons and supplies needed to fight.
 * Diplomacy: Iran declined in self-reliance and sufficiency against infringing western elements. Which saw popularity amongst the rebels. Since 2029, Iran had declined in being a major player within the Middle-east, but is important enough to have a large impact.
 * WIP
 * (Opposition to) USA: Of course.
 * (Opposition to) Saudi Arabia: We are not sure, many of us aren't Arabian nor came from the Arabian peninsula. Accepting this immediately would generate some tension between us. We would be pretty okay with being an observer state. Would that suffice?
