Islamic Republic of Iran

 * Government:
 * Increased Surveillance: Accusations of  hidden authoritarian movements by external opposition forces of President Estafahni and his administration has increased Iran's effectiveness in surveillance after a terrorist was captured after bombing Tehran, claiming to "bring attention and freedom to the harsh treatment of Kurds". Thankfully, none had died, but 3 civilians were seriously injured and 13 others suffering from minor wounds. One civilian has lost her arm.
 * Rivash Scandal: Unfortunately, the announcement of some elements of the surveillance program, it was meant to be a counter measure to protect Iranians against terrorist attacks and radical elements of Islam. However, this good measure was quickly clouded by the Rivash Scandal. In a small town of about (now) 5,000 residence, the Scandal erupted from the discovery of several government officials (not originally from Estafahni's administration, of course, but rather he kept them) engaging in corruption outside of the law through gambling (Maisir). Gambling was considered an evil by the Islamic religion and the officials were jailed upon discovery. This deeply affected the Estafahni administration in its negativity.
 * Shekak Massacre: Several weeks after the Kurdish terrorist attack, Estafahni ordered all Kurds to be interrogated and "reprocessed/educated" in fear of Kurdish Iranians splintering off to join Kurdistan (and to prevent further terrorist attacks). However, one Kurdish tribe was shown to be highly resistant to Gov. orders. Tensions arose before the bubble popped when Shekak tribe started to "defend their homeland" by resisting, harrassing, and even attacking Military Police. One incident occured when a small brawl between MPs and Tribesmen led to a bloodbath when MPs retreated and open fired on the crowd of Tribesmen. Word spread of the fight and hours later entire villages were in open arms and fighting gov. troops. This escalated into the massacre of the Shekak tribe. Attempted cover-ups had failed and this was reported over Iranian media by "freedom" opposition forces.
