Present
On April 16, 2032, Lettistan suddenly appeared following the sudden collapse of former Iran.
Aslan's term of office (2037-)

At the highest level are nine vilayat (province)s, two municipalities and a special administrative region. The second-level divisions are prefectures and the prefecture-class cities.

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.
