Lettistan (Chinese:蕾蒂斯坦), officialy known as the Nationalist Workers' State of Lettistan (Chinese:蕾蒂斯坦民族主义劳工国), formerly called Iran (Chinese:伊朗), is a self-proclaimed socialist republic in West Asia. it consists of 2 municipalities, 9 vilayat(province)s and a special administrative region. Lettistan is currently the largest country in the West Asia as well as the so-called "Middle East", it is bordered by Turkey and the former Iraqi territories to the west, by Transcaucasia to the northwest, by the Caspian Sea and Turkestan to the north, by former Afghanistan and Pakistan to the east, and by the Gulf of Oman and the Persian Gulf to the south. The largest city is the capital Whiterock (formerly Tehran), followed by Mashhad, Isfahan, Karaj, Shiraz, and Tabriz.
The official language of Lettistan are Persian and the main minority languages such as Kurdish and Baloch. Lettistan doesn't posseses a state religion and any attempt aims to introduce a state religion is against the constitution, despite of that, the main religion of Lettistan are Baha'i Faith and Zoroastrianism. Historically a multi-ethnic country, Lettistan remains a pluralistic society comprising numerous ethnic, linguistic, and religious groups, with the largest of these being Persians, Azeris, Kurds, Balochs, Turkmens and Russians.
According to official archives, Lettistan was founded on July 29 in the year 1978, 3 months after the socialist revolution which overthrew the Pahlavi dynasty and conflict between socialist Lettistan and neighbouring Ba'athist Iraq broke out 2 years then. As a result of collapse of Eastern Bloc, Lettistan finally turned into the current regime in April 1992. The first elected government was formed in the spring of 1993.
Besides the official documents, the fact is that Lettistan in the PCBW was suddenly teleported there on April 16, 2032.
According to the Lettistani official archives, everything changed in 1978: The Islamic Revolution never happened as it did in real life, but a anomalous pro-Soviet revolution, like its Afghan counterpart, swept across Iran and the foundation of the Democratic Republic of Lettistan.
Present
On April 16, 2032, Lettistan suddenly appeared following the sudden collapse of former Iran.
Aslan's term of office (2037-)

Law enforcement
Law enforcement in Lettistan comes under the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which maintains most law enforcement activities and directs the Lettistani Militsiya and the Lettistani National Guard. It is one of the most powerful state institutions in Lettistan and oversees the national police force, investigates criminal cases and manages non-political correctional facilities. It handles other aspects of domestic security like civil registration, traffic control, fire departments and railroad security.
Separate from the Ministry of Internal Affairs is the National Security Committee, the country's main intelligence organisation. It was formed on the basis of former SAVAK and aims to conduct domestic and foreign intelligence, counterintelligence and manage the "psychiatric hospitals", the political prison system of Lettistan. It's also the main force of Lettistani intervention in foreign internal affairs.
Human rights
Human rights in Lettistan are generally respected according to pro-government medias and nominally protected through the constitution. Hovewer, the country keep receiving heavy criticism from the "international society" (Mainly anti-GTO countries) for arbitrary arrests and capital punishments, religious and political persecutions, and racial discrimination even violence agains Russians and Arabs tacitly tolerated by the authorities.
Chador and any full set of black clothes are discouraged except for mourning, career requirements (Navy etc.) or women above 65 and male having long beards as they are being "decidedly unnational-like", and religious literature which is not state-approved, especially Islamic ones, is often confiscated and destroyed.
Internet censorship in Lettistan is serious as well, only a few websites from the countries without or have bad diplomatic relations(except "former Iraq, Kuwait and Syria territories", all websites over there are banned with no exception) are allowed alongside with domestic and friendly ones.
The constitution stipulates that all citizen have equal rights except for circumstances provided by law, regardless of gender, but discrimination against non-binary gender is still a serious problem in Lettistan.
Military
The Armed Forces of the NWS Lettistan, or the Lettistani People's Army, numbering roughly 1.14 million active soldiers and more reserve and paramilitary troops, making it the largest military force in the region. It is the regular military of Lettistan and the armed wing of the Worker's Party of Lettistan.
The LPA is diveded into four major branches, the Ground Force, Navy, Aerospace Force, Strategic Rocket Forces, and minor branches such as Army Aviation, Marines and Airborne Troops. Of all the LPA's branches, the Ground Force is the largest, comprising approximately 800 thousand personnel divided into 17 armoured divisions, 19 mechanised infantry divisions, 11 motor rifle divisions and hundreds of independent brigades and regiments. It is equipped with an enormous amount of later Cold War-era hardwares, mainly from Eastern Bloc.
Apart from the regular armed forces, there are a number of government paramilitaries such as the National Guard(informally, "Internal Troops"), the Defence Force of the Working Class(or just "People's Militia"), the Lettistani Rangers, and the Lettistani Coast Guard(LCG).
Conscription is enforced for every citizens in Lettistan due to the need for national security and protection against the threat from terrorism. The length of military service in the LPA is at least 3 years and a half for all service branches. Skilled workers, technicians, members of some government organizations and those who fail the physical examination, those who have special performance in sports or academic performance, and some who have obtained permanent residence abroad and have not stayed in the country for more than one year can be exempted from military service.
Lettistan is a nuclear-armed state and has a stockpile of 1,350 nuclear weapons, besides of that, Lettistan has the largest and most diverse ballistic missile arsenal in the region as well. Furthermore, Lettistan has the support of the most member nations of the Global Treaty Organisation, and supports insurgent groups in numerous countries, including those that operate within the borders of its main regional rival, United Arab Communes.
To face the threat from the former Ba'athist Iraq and then United Arab Communes,the government of Lettistan has developed its own military industry, produced its own tanks, armoured personnel carriers, missiles, submarines, military vessels, missile destroyer, radar systems, helicopters and fighter planes. What's more, the LPA has deployed a wide range of asymmetric warfare technologies including anti-personnel blinding lasers, GPS jammers, midget submarines and human torpedoes, stealth paint, and cyberwarfare units.

Society
Lettistan is a diverse country, consisting of numerous ethnic and linguistic groups that are unified through a shared Lettistani nationality. As with the spoken languages, the ethnic group composition also remains a point of debate, mainly regarding the largest and second largest ethnic groups, the Persians and Azerbaijanis, due to the lack of Lettistani state censuses based on ethnicity.
As its geographical real life counterpart, Lettistan hosts one of the largest refugee populations in the world, mostly from former Iraqi, Afghan and Pakistani territories and the Caucasus after Russian collapse.
