The Khanate of Persia

The Sublime State of the Khagan of Greater Iran (Devlet-ě ʿAliyye-ě Khagan-ě Irānzamīn), more commonly known simply as Persia (Fārs) or Iran (Irān) is an Islamic state centred on the Iranian plateau. Persia is the only state in the world that can claim direct descent from the Mongol Empire of Genghis Khan, though its claim is often disputed by modern day Mongolia. An absolute monarchy, the Persian state is a relatively repressive dictatorship, without much of democratic tradition.
