Parthian Federation

The United Parthian Federation was formed in 1918 after the 11 year wars between the 2 neighboring countries of the region; Azeristan and the Parztskan Empire. Conflict lies at the root of the unity of the federation, which solidifies the necessity of an equal and independent government.

Government
The country is divided into two main ethnic groups that live in harmony today, the Parthians and the Azeris. Parthians make up about 60% of the population, mostly living in the eastern half of the country, or in the general area of the former Parztskan Empire. The elected leader of the country is officially titled “First Speaker​”, and is an ethnic Parthian. The “Second Speaker”, or the “Vice Speaker” is elected among the ethnic Azeris. The Federal Parliament is made up of 60% Parthian ministers, and 28% Azeri Ministers, the rest made up of the remaining minorities. Each major ethnic region within the country elects their own parliamentary representatives through local elections. Elections are held every 5 years.

Economy
Main Exports : Electricity/Clean Energy : The UPF citizens are proud workers. After the educational reform of 1976, the country has seen a drastic increase in the amount of engineers and scientists. This sparked the utilization of the nuclear sources that now power the military and civil needs of the country. The excess energy produced is sold to the surrounding countries of the region. Cotton : Due to having optimum climate for the growth of agricultural plants, cotton is one of the major exports of The United Parthian Federation. Horses: Traditionally Parthians and Azeris have been horseback warriors, and these cultural ties allowed the Parthians to breed and train the highest quality horses in the world. The Parthian horses are able to exceed the efficiency of any other horse breed, live long, and are able to walk backwards because the ancestors though it’d be funny to train them to do that. Main Imports : Technology : Even though mid-low level production is very efficient and profitable, The UPF relies on the imports from other countries for everyday items such as phones, cars, computer parts, etc. Labour: Due to a very available and wide education system, the lower class production of the country has been in stagnation since the 1980’s. Therefore, the manual labour workers are mostly foreigners who immigrate to The UPF for work.
