The Imperial State of Afsharid Persia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Ardeshir Shah Afshar with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, pith helmet sales, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 13.559 billion Persians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small, corrupt government prioritizes Education, although Law & Order, Defense, and Environment are also considered important, while International Aid is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tehran. The average income tax rate is 30.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Afsharid Persian economy, worth a remarkable 3,228 trillion Persian Rials a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 238,126 Persian Rials, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Surfing lessons include how to ward off sharks, the nation's biggest export is stupidity, fishermen take out second mortgages to afford the yearly fishing permit, and trails to natural wonders are littered with trash from reality film crews. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Afsharid Persia's national animal is the Asiatic Cheetah, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Shia Islam.

Afsharid Persia is ranked 2,045^th in the world and 2^nd in Greater Middle East for Largest Black Market, with 1,366 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
