Description
Regions transported: Iran

With no external enemies to bind the country's various ethnic and religious groups together, the Iranian regime soon found itself facing a series of succession crises as the Kurds, Lurs, Balochis, Arabs, Azeris and Sunni Farsis declared their independence from Tehran. While some of these breakaway states were ultimately reintegrated into Iran, some proved to be permanently lost. Ordinary Iranians, driven to escape the violence, the regime, or simply due to a sense of adventure soon were soon establishing themselves along the northern and western shores of the Persian Gulf, pushing Iran's frontiers outwards. Arabs too joined them along the rivers of Iraq, creating a diverse melting point that often seemed in danger of boiling over. It was in this fervent atmosphere that a series of protests over goods shortages in the new provinces grew into demonstrations against the Islamic Republic itself. Iran thus saw its newest dynastic overthrowal and the flight of the Ayatollahs and regime loyalists to the re-built city of Mecca where the regime lives on as the Islamic Republic of Mecca.
