The United Republic of Fars
After the overthrow of the Islamic theocracy in 2035 AD Iran became Fars. However, much of the country was unhappy with the new government so the land was split. The new government requires everyone to be atheist as they discourage religion, but many Fars citizens ignore this because they want to return to their Persian roots, converting to Zorastrianism.
Fars has all sorts of jewels, including Persian cats, Persian fat cats, and Persian rugs. The economy is not near as good as it could be because Persia as a vast surplus of Engineers, Lawyers and Real Estate Agents who can't find jobs. As a result of this in conjunction with the new threat of the droid army prime minister Cyrus 2.0 has heavily encouraged Persian men to join the military, offering them a discount at Kebab to go if they join.
Many Persians drive a BMW or Mercedes regardless of their lack of income. However, many of them can not afford it. As a result, the Persian government has implemented a 'cash for crunkers' program offering money so luxury cars can be traded in for scrap parts that can be used for military purposes.
Cyrus 2.0, your people are ambitious, luxurious, and tend not to wear deoderant. Oh Great Cyrus, can you build a Civilization that will stand the test of time?
