Iran

Iran, officially the Imperial State of Iran, and also called Persia, is a country in the Middle East.
== History ==
The Persian Empire started in 671 BC, and survives to the present day, though being conquered a few times, and also being taken by a coup and turned to a Republic for the only time in it's history from 1979-1987, but nonetheless, it is the current longest reigning empire, lasting for thousands of years. Lasting through many dynasties, The Medians, the Teispids, the Achaemenids, being conquered by the Macedonians from 336 BC to 129 BC, Persis, Parthians, Sasanians, and the Dabuyids, these all comprise pre-islamic Persia, from 671 BC-651. The caliphates all occupied Persia from 651-1258. (Briefly by the Mongols from 1220-1256), a few other non-Iranian empires occupied Iran as well until 1502, which the Safavids ruled Persia, than the Afsharids, followed by Zands, Qajars, and finally, the currently reigning Pahlavi dynasty. However, in 1979, Ruhollah Khomeini (Being supplied by Aldeus Slait) performed a coup and turned Persia from a paradise of tradition and cultures to a Terroristic Islamic Theocracy. However, 9 years later, The Ottoman Empire invaded Khomeini's Iran, and restored the Pahlavis into Iran. Since than, Iran has been a bastion of Secularism, and Democratic Monarchism.
