Airyanam (In Frederick's Fields)

The Sublime State of Aryanam (in Farsi Dowlat-e Elliye Aryānām), also referred to as Iran (Ērānshahr) or Persia, is an independent located in the Middle East. Aryanam is bordered to the west by and the, to the north by  and the , to the east by the  and , and to the south by the  and the. Aryanam has a population of over 100 million, making it the sixth largest state by population in Asia. The capital and largest city of Aryanam is Rhages (usually known to its inhabitants as Tehran).

The Iranian people have led several important empires, such as the Achaemenid and Sassanid empires pre-Islam, as well as several important sultanates and caliphates. Under these empires and once again under dynasties such as the Safavids and the Afsharids Iran was an international superpower, one of the wealthiest and most powerful states in existance at the time.
