Emirate of Persia

The **Emirate of Persia**, also known as **Occupied Persia** or **Hǔnluàn Persia**, was a *de-facto* state occupying the legal boarders of Persia between April 5, 2020 and September 1, 2021, under the leadership of the Hǔnluàn terrorist group; despite claiming to be a continuation of the Second Persian Republic, the Hǔnluàn occupying forces began to distance themselves from this claim by the end of 2020 and instead preferred to refer to themselves as the Emirate of Persia.

Beginning on April 5, 2020, the occupation of Persia began with the inauguration of terrorist leader Ashton Morre as President of Persia, and lasted until September 1, 2021 with the impeachment and removal of President Karen Sanders from her role as the head of the republic, leaving *de-facto* control of the nation to fall to the Provisional Government of Persia and the Libirachi Imperial Army until the formation of the Third Persian Republic on November 9, 2021 upon the formal peace treaty between Persia and the Libirachi Empire.

With the appointment of new members of the Persian congress following the dissolution of the body during the interim presidency of Nicolas Burez, Prime Minister Karen Sanders began to legislate to integrate Hǔnluàn control over the nation into the constitution and formally transform the nation into an one-party state, syphoning control away from the Persian Congress and into the presidency, whilst simultaneously passing acts which repealed gun laws and dissolved local armed forces and police groups, forcing parts of the nation into anarchy whilst the terrorist group in charge continued to plunder and steal from its citizens thanks to Hǔnluàn militia groups which roamed the nation. Despite the ongoing Has Wars in 2020-22, the Libirachi Empire turned it's attention to the Hǔnluàn government and in March 2021 launched the Invasion of Persia, liberating the nation with the apparent death of President Ashton Morre in August 2021.

Following the apparent death of President Ashton Morre on August 29, 2021, Prime Minister Karen Sanders was inaugurated as President of Persia at the behest of the Hǔnluàn controlled Persian Congress on the same day, retaining the title of Prime Minister de-jure whilst attempting to run the nation as President. Having also taken over leadership over the Hǔnluàn, Sanders' new regime began efforts to rebrand itself as a democratic system within the constitution of the Persian Republic, and on August 30, President Sanders dismissed all members of the Persian Congress and reinstated all members-in-exile to their posts as senators in an attempt to show the democratic nature of the government - however on August 31, 2021, the new members of congress unanimously passed an impeachment resolution effective at midnight the same day, and held the 2021 Persian Presidential Election to select a replacement, electing Almac Docu to the office. Now with no constitutional mandate to govern, the Hǔnluàn forces began to scatter following the death of deposed president Sanders, and following the Libirachi conquest of the nation, the Provisional Government of Persia under President Almac Docu was handed back control over the nation.
