**Syran**, sometimes mispelled as or confused with **Iran**, is a soveriegn state in the Countries SMP. It is, theoretically, a communist country and is the larget country on the SMP. It is led by Vtsuki, and the god of the server Felix. Syran's geography is very large and diverse with areas ranging from open plains to rivers, to birch forests. It is known for its partial participation in the Tower Incident through Felix and Xavier and later the failed Syran Revolution Attempt led by Mason. The people of Syran are known as Syranians.

## History

### Founding

Syran was founded sometime in early 2022 by VTsuki. When exactly it was founded is unknown and not remembered by most users, however it was in early 2022.

### Expansion

Syran was quick to become the largest country on the entire SMP, claiming vast parts of the server's territory and establishing influence over a wide variety of terrain. It started with the Tree of Wisdom and later expanded greatly away throughout vast rivers and birch forests. Many buildings were built and many users joined. Alan, Andy, and Luis all joined Syran during this time. However, Luis, a member of Syran, threatened Kiwi and began the Xavier-Kiwi Tensions.

### First conflicts

On March 17th, 2022, Syran saw its first indirect war as Felix, Xavier, and Craft began fighting with Mason on the outskirts of KiwiVille in the areas near the now destroyed Tim Tower. However, the next day, Craft and their little brother Graham both joined, forming the Dirt Region in the birch forest. Mason also came over to that area and declared a revolution against the Syranian government. Syran, being the most powerful country on the server, quickly and swiftly put down the Syran Revolution Attempt. A few hours later, the Grave Incident started with members of both Syran and KiwiVille trying to figure out what happened with a death threat/grave.

### Era of terrorism

On March 19th, 2022, Everest launched the Raid on Mason's House, a terrorist incident in which VTsuki completely ruined and destroyed Mason's house. The next day, Mago began building a shrine to the server gods of VTsuki and Felix. Craft responded by betraying Syran, proclaiming the 20 March Movement, and burning down the shrine in what became known as the First Shrine Burning, triggering the Guevarist Insurgency. These attacks and burnings continued and caused Craft to be labelled as both an arsonist and terrorist, being banned from Syran and KiwiVille. Craft was later unbanned from both countries but is still untrusted.

## Politics

### Government

Syran, according to VTsuki, is a self-proclaimed communist state. The Syranian government, according to VTsuki, has full control over the economics and buildings within the country. People are paid equally due to the government being too lazy to set invidiual wages. The same is applied to setting market prices since the government is too lazy for it. The Syranian leadership under Vtsuki has the authority to kill anyone they don't like. In summary, it claims to be communist but is more fascist in its functions. The Syranian government has also permitted autonomous regions such as the Dirt Region.

### Political parties

Syran has no political parties. Whether or not political parties will be legalized or not is up in the air as of now. However, the Communist Party of KiwiVille (CPK) did join Syran after leaving KiwiVille as it is the group *de facto* in charge of the Dirt Region of Syran.

## Symbolism

### Flag

Syran has no official flag. However, blue is the national color of Syran. As such, a basic blue banner is commonly associated with the country of Syran.
