Persia (Iran)
 * Coup d' Etat: In the first days of 2016, the hing-ranking Iranian General called Qasem Soleimani stages a coup against the current Iranian goverment with support of the military. The Supreme Leader of Iran, Ali Khamenei, is arrested by Qasem and afterwards Qasem succesfully seizes control over Iran. The current president, Hassan Rouhani, is allowed to keep his position, but he is practically turned into a puppet since he has to ask Qasem about every decision he makes. After this, Qasem becomes the new Supreme Leader, but he changes the goverment structure massively, renaming the country to Persia. Qasem announces that he will left power once the country is stabilized, and he even invites the former heir of Iran's crown to return, Reza Pahlavi II.
 * Goverment: Qasem starts changing the goverment structure slowly, removing Khamenei's supporters from the Persian Maijilis and other goverment positions, placing his supporters to replace them. In order to ensue loyalty from the Military sector, Qasem raises the salary of all Persian soldiers, and he spreads propaganda, calling the old goverment corrupt and praising the recent coup. Later on, Qasem changes Persia's foreign policy, taking a more pro-west stance by restablishing relations with a bunch of European countries and the USA. Qasem also begins to make Iran a more westernized country, slowly advancing into areas such as secularism, religious tolerance and freedom of speech, in contrast with the old extremist goverment. Qasem's long term plan is restablishing monarchy in Persia by having Reza Pahlavi as the rightful monarch, but also mantaining the Parliament.
 * Military: With imperialism rising around the world, Qasem decides to enforce conscription, and he also spreads propaganda praising the armed forces and calling persians to protect the Motherland all over the country. The number of active miltary personeel reachs 570,000 by the end of the year, and the number of the Persian reserves remains at 1.8 million, however, more of them are recieving training to become part of the active personeel soon. The Navy and Air Force are also increased, building more ships and aircraft at a faster rate.
 * Economy: The Persian economy is increased as it is now open to the Western world once again, allowing foreign companies in the country. Now sanctions should be removed because of the goverment change.
 * Diplomacy:
 * USA: Persia increases relations with the USA in order to fix the damage caused by past tense relations, anti-american propaganda is removed across the country, and Qasem tries to promote a positive image of the USA among persians. Persia also starts to trade oil with the USA, as the Arabians threatened to cut the supply
 * NATO: Persia increases relations with all countries in NATO, as they see them as a better alternative to the Eurasian Union, from which the Islamic Caliphate is part. Persoa requests an alliance with all countries in NATO and promises lower oil prices.
 * Iraq: Persia keeps the previous good relations with Iraq and continues to intervene against ISIS, coordinating with Iraqi forces. Qasem visits the country later on, and he proposes creating the Persian Federation, composed by Persia and Iraq. Iraq would keep autonomy and would be allowed to choose their own goverment, but they would be united with Iran. Qasem highlights the cultural and religious ties between the two countries and the threat of the Islamic Caliphate, hoping that Iraq will accept such Union.
 * Syria: Despite becoming pro-West, Persia continues to support Assad's goverment against the Islamic State and the FSA, urging them to not join the Islamic Caliphate and highlighting the tense relations between Assad's goverment and Erdogan in Turkey. Persia also accepts Syrian refugees after making an agreement with the Syrian goverment.
 * China: Persia accepts their request for jouning the Asian alliance, hoping to increase the relations between the two nations to counter the Islamic Caliphate.
 * Russia: Since Persia is now pro-West, relations with Russia decrease a bit, but Persia still wants to keep good relations with them, so they request a non-aggresion pact.
 * Islamic Caliphate: Relations become tense as the IC threatens Persia with war and because Persia views them as rivals, and an huge menace to the Middle East stability.
 * Nubian Empire: Qasem visits the Nubian Empire this year, hoping to increase relations, he proposes a military and economic between the two monarchies, offering lower prices as well. They state that the IC is a threat and that an allaince between Nubia and Persia could be a good way to counter their rising power.
