Tinto Maps #18 - 13th of September 2024 - Persia & Caucasus

Hello everyone, and welcome to one more Tinto Maps! Today we will be taking a look at Persia and the Caucasus! These are regions that encompass several modern-day countries and regions (Iraq, Iran, Balochistan, Afghanistan, Transoxiana, etc.), but for the sake of simplicity, we decided to name this DD this. Let’s start, without further ado!

Countries:
Countries.png

Colored Wastelands.png

The region is quite interesting in 1337, as there are plenty of countries to play with. The Ilkhanate is still alive, but in name only, the real power being hosted by the Jalayirids, who are overlords of some of their neighbors (the Chobanids, and the Eretnids). Other countries, such as Gurgan, the Kartids, and Muzaffarids are also struggling to get the hegemony over the region. Meanwhile, the strongest power in the Caucasus is the Kingdom of Georgia, although the region is also quite fragmented among different polities.

Ilkhanate.png

And speaking of the Ilkhanate, you may have wondered why isn’t it a unified tag… Well, it’s because we consider that it is clearly in decadence, having lost any grasp of authority over the provinces, so the best way of portraying it is through an International Organization. What we can see in this mapmode is that there are two pretenders to get the power, the Jalayarids and Gurgan, with the other countries still being formally part of it. I won’t talk more today about how it works and its features, but I’ll just say that there are two clear fates for the Ilkhanate: being dissolved, as historically happened, or being restored in full power as a unified country.

Dynasties:
Dynasties.png

Not much to say today about the dynasties, as they’re akin to the country names, in most cases. Well, you might wonder which one is the yellow one, ruling over Gurgan… That country is ruled by the Borgijin, heirs of Genghis Khan. Now you get the full picture of their rule over the Ilkhanate being challenged by the Jalayirids, I think…

Vegetation.png

We’re back to a region with lots of different climates, topography, and vegetation. This will make it very unique, gameplay and looking-wise.

Harbors:
Harbor.png

You might notice that there are ports in the Caspian Sea… Because, well, it’s considered a sea in our game, so there can be ships and navies over it.

Cultures:
Cultures.png

There's quite a lot of cultural division throughout the region... The Caucasus is, well, the Caucasus, divided among lots of different people. Then we have the Iraqi and Kurdish in Iraq, Persian and a number of other cultures in Iran, Baloch in Balochistan, Afghan in Afghanistan, and Khorasani, Turkmen, Khorezm, Hazara, and Tajiks, among others, in Khorasan and Transoxiana.

Religions:
Religion.png

Another interesting religious situation. Orthodox is the main religion in Georgia, and Miaphysitism in Armenia, with other confessions spread here and there throughout the Caucasus (Khabzeism, and three 'Pagan' confessions, Karachay-Balkar, Vainakh, and Lezgin). Then Iraq is divided among Sunni, to the north, and Shiism, to the south. And Iran is in an interesting situation, having a Sunni majority, but with some important Shiite pockets here and there. And Zoroastrianism, of course. It was not trivial to properly portray them, as we don't have good data for the 14th century. So what we did was some calculations, between sources that tell that there was still a majority as late as the 11th century, and the religion becoming severely reduced by the 16th century. Therefore, we decided to go with 20% of the population as a general rule of thumb; however, we're quite open to feedback over this matter.

Raw Materials:
Raw Materials.png

This region is full of rich resources, in stark contrast to the one we showed last week, Arabia. There are a couple of bugs on this mapmode that you might spot, I think.

Markets:
Markets.png

This region has several markets: Tabriz, Baghdad, Esfahan, Hormuz, Nishapur, and Zaranj., This will make for regionally fragmented-but-integrated economies (that is, good market access everyhwere, but with regionally diverging economies).

Population:
Population.png

Population 2.png

Population 3.png

Population 4.png

Population 5.png

The total population of the region is around 9M, taking into account all the different areas that we’re showing today. That is divided into about 4.5M in Iran, 2M in Iraq, 1.5M in the Caucasus, and around 1.5M in Transoxiana.

And that’s all for today! Next Friday we will be taking a look at India! Yes, in its entirety; we think that it is the best way to do it, although we’ll talk more about it next week. Another change, only for next week: the DD will be published at 10:00 instead of the regular 15:00, as I won’t be available in the afternoon to reply. Letting you know so there’s a proper wow-pole-run, yes. See you!

Just some quick questions:

Is there anyone else you can form the Ilkhanate as? Ie. Chobanids

What culture does the Jalayrids have as a primary?

If you form the Ilkhanate as a Mongol culture nation, will there be a way to eventually end up with a Mongol-Persian fusion culture late game or something similar?

1. is there a reason why the borders of the locations are drawn like this? (like oval and long). both kirkuk and mosul (which has a large population) could be split into two locations. many other have weird shapes as well.

2. generally, mesopotamia seem to have a lower location density than other regions.

3. anbar is a town was probably already uninhabited by game start year.

I'm a bit surprised that the Zagros mountains seem like a fairly inconsequential obstacle. It was my understanding that power projection into and out of the Iranian plateau was quite hampered by them? I honestly expected a more formidable wall of wastelands with a few strategic passes between Iraq and Iran, more like in Imperator.

Has anyone on the team watched Rosencreutz's video 'EU5: Development, Divergence, and Simulation'? It compares EU4, Eu5, and the book 'Guns Germs and Steel'. It's ideas around the New World are interesting. Here is the link:
It's a good video but a maps thread isn't the place to post it, certainly not one on Southwest Asia

i think lakes salty or not need to be linked to the remaining areas and not be wasteland .
also one should note that Sirjan (first image ) and Urmia lake in tabriz werent salty in the period of the game . both experienced an ecological collapse recently like Urmia in second picture ( 1 of 3 big lakes of the region of old armenia )
condition of Sirjan appears to be primarily a modern development, exacerbated by human intervention.

so please , do not put the sirjan area as a wasteland because that lake was not salty until recently .

Why did you decide to make the Caspian navigable? Wont it turn into a resource black hole with the AI building useless fleets there?

Could you expand on that?

Iran is literally surrounded by giants, Mamluks, Mongols, Dheli...and Timur is going to spwan in a few decades from the game start, truly a shitty place to live in this time period

It was a pretty good video, but his point against geographic determinism was very vague and pretty weak. Diamond's still a bad source, but geographic determinism isn't exactly his worst offence.
That's because it's pretty well tread ground in academic circles, the papers referenced in the video weren't put there for fun

The representation of the Ilkhanate as an organization due to fragmentation is fascinating and I have to wonder now if there will be mechanics in place for a country/tag to collapse in a similar way during gameplay rather than being limited to a set up during a given start date.

The first obviously example I can think of that would fit with this historically would be Japan, which at the time of Project Ceasar's start date would be in the middle of the more unified Ashikaga Shogunate, but would descend into the Warring States period within a century.

Additionally, I believe the Chobanids, Jalayirids, Hüleguids, Qasarids, Qara'unas, and Jauni Kurban should be represented as landed Army-Based-Countries, at the very least. Including maybe the smaller Jurma'is and Ughanis/Awganis Mongol tribes in Fars. These countries/peoples would not be settled in any sense of the word, and were pastoralists, as their organization was based on the tümen system. Tümens, while garrisoned in different areas, followed along winter and summer pastures, and their noyan rulers migrated with them. The Jalayirids would only much later become a "settled" state, after the succession wars were largely over and the Jalayirids settled in Iraq to style themselves as rulers.

Are tributaries included into this? When was Trebizond part of the Ilkhanate?

Yes, we're covering the countries that had a (usually loose) relationship of overlordship with the Ilkhans. Just noticed that we have to add to the IO the new countries added in the Anatolian map review, BTW.

according to me, kurdish should be one culture group and divided between these cultures;
* kurmanji
* zazaki
*gorani (or hawrami)
* yezidi

edit: removed luri, also i am unsure if yezidi should be an ethno-religious group, or just religion

I feel like there should be significantly more Mongols and Turkmen across Iran

Before Hülegu began the invasion of Iran, he was assigned 1/5th of the Mongol Empire's nomadic forces in a split of the Empire by Möngke Khan. This meant 13 to 17 tümens of warriors, 130 000 / 170 000 men, including their families. And as Iran suffered enormous civilian casualties and depopulations, those areas were settled by the new nomadic peoples, and since the invasion, have grown in size accordingly.

You can roughly trace the locations of these nomadic peoples by the tümen distribution across the Ilkhanate, along their summer and winter quarters, due to being pasturalists.




Also adding to this, the Oirats made up a large nomadic population in the Sutayid lands, Northern Iraq, around Baghdad and also a separate group in Khorasan

Skopiowałem to z wątku Ilkhanate:



Oto niektóre mapy i ich wyjaśnienia zamieszczone poniżej. Mam cały wysyp fragmentów z wymienionych źródeł, z których zbudowana jest narracja. Jednak próba uporządkowania ich w spójną grupę byłaby trudna. Dlatego zdecydowałem się po prostu umieścić je wszystkie na raz na dole.

UWAGA: Te granice są bardzo szacunkowe



Zmiany nałożone na mapę dynastyczną :

View attachment 1187220



Wojna domowa w Ilchanatach podzielona jest między trzy główne frakcje, z których każda ma swojego własnego pretendenta do tronu Czyngisydów, marionetkowego lub innego:
Dżalajrydzi , Chobanidzi i Chorasani



Frakcja Jalayirid

1. Dżalajridzi , pod wodzą Hasana Buzurga Dżalajira, zajęli dominującą pozycję w Ilkhanacie po pokonaniu Alego Padszaha w lipcu 1336 r., 8 miesięcy temu w grze. To zwycięstwo pozwoliło Hasanowi Buzurgowi zdobyć północny Irak i stolicę królewską Tabriz, instalując tam swoją marionetkę Ilkhana

2. Tebriz , królewska stolica Ilchanatu, została przyznana jako gubernatorstwo przez Hazana Buzurga Dżalajira Pirowi Husajinowi, kuzynowi Hasana Kuceka z dynastii Czobanidów, na początku rebelii Czobanidów w 1338 roku. Oznacza to, że na początku gry Tebriz bezpośrednio należał do Dżalajrydów.
  • Nie wiem, jak można przedstawić dezercję Pir Husayina jako gubernatora Tebrizu do Chobanidów? W rzeczywistości siły Dżalajridzkie miały wielu krewnych i powinowatych Chobanidów, którzy przeszli na stronę Chobanidów podczas bitwy pod Alataq w lipcu 1338 r., co uczyniło Chobanidów najsilniejszą frakcją w tamtym czasie
3. Sutayids, under Hajji Taghay, had sought assistance from Hasan Buzurg against Ali Padshah and his Oirats, likely becoming subordinate to the Jalayirids in the process. Ruler killed and replaced by a puppet loyal to the Chobanids in 1343. The reason for the Sutayids conflict with the Oirats was due to the governorship of Diyarbakir being skipped over the sons of Sutay, over to the Oirat chief Ali Padshah. Sutay was the governor of Diyarbakir prior to his natural death, while his sons governed Ahlat.

4. Eretnids (Ilkhanate province of Anatolia) was delegated to Eretna's governorship by Hazan Buzurg when he marched East to face Ali Padshah. Eretna was the deputy and likely continued subordinate to the Jalayirids until Hazan Buzurg was defeated in battle by the Chobanids in July 1338. Eretna began juggling loyalties between the feuding Noyans, and also the Mamluk sultan. The final independence by Eretna can be said to be 1341, when he began issuing his own coinage

6. Western Gilan, where rulers styled themselves as Ispahbads. The ruler in 1337 was probably Badr al-dīn Mahmūd, who was mentioned in a decree by the late Ilkhan Abu Sa'id as being given three villages in Western Gilan. As those lands fall within the sphere of the central government in Tabriz and Azerbaijan, it would be likely that this small country was subordinate to the Jalayirids, or an appointed governor of the Jalayirids

7. Shirvan, ruled by Kayqubad I of the Shirvanshah dynasty. Vassal to Jalayirids or a Jalayirid representative amir

8. Principality of Khachen, under the Hasan-Jalalyan dynasty. Vassal to Jalayirids or a Jalayirid representative amir

9. Principality of Syunik, under the Orbelian dynasty. Vassal to Jalayirids or a Jalayirid representative amir

10. Principality of Armenia, part of Greater Armenia and therefore an Ilkhanid subordinate, in this case to the Jalayirids

View attachment 1187221



Chobanid Faction

10. Chobanids, under Hasan Kucek Suldus, situated at Karahisar in Western Anatolia at the start of the game. The Chobanid family was dispersed after the execution of Chupan and many of his sons by Abu Sa'id in the previous decade. Their power would again spike in 1338, when Hasan Kucek was able to call upon the family and unite them, including his cousin, the governor of Tabriz, Pir Husayin. The Chobanids would intervene in the succession wars and defeat the Jalayirids in battle in July 1338, driving them out of Tabriz, where the Chobanids would establish their centre of power. The Chobanids would become one of the greatest contenders for the Ilkhanate and the Jalayirid's main rival
  • When the Chobanids were called upon by Eretna on behalf of the Jalayirids, Hasan Kucek declined via rebellion in 1338. His force would march to Tabriz and Azerbaijan through Anatolia. The Chobanid family is very dispersed at game start it would appear, many of them in service to the Jalayirids, including the governor of Tabriz (who was appointed in 1338). The Chobanids primary reason for victory was a series of defections in midst of the battle at Alataq in July 1338. How could this even be represented in-game?
View attachment 1187222



Khorasani Faction

11. Qasarids, under the Chinggisid claimant Togha Temür of the Borjigin clan. He is a descendant of Qasar, the brother of Genghis Khan. Togha Temür is the chief of the Qasarid tribe in Gurgan and ruler of North-Western Khorasan, which includes many other nomadic tribes. In the winter of 1336-7 he was elected Ilkhan by the Khorasani amirs in the only semi-legitimate Kurultai from among the rival claimants. In the Spring of 1337, he marched west against the Jalayirids. The Khorasani campaign had overran Persian Iraq and reached Soltaniyeh by March 1337, capturing the city soon after
  • I believe the country should be called the Qasarids, in line with the Jalayirids and Chobanids, due to the most famous ancestor of Togha Temür being the brother of Genghis Khan, Qasar.
12. Hüleguids, under Musa Khan, formerly Ilkhan puppet of the Oirat chief, Ali Padshah, was defeated in battle 8 months ago, and received devastating losses during his retreat to Baghdad, where they were pursued by a Jalayirid subordinate. However, the Oirats managed to defeat the pursuing army, and this has given Musa Khan a little room for breathing. Him and the remaining Oirat forces are holed up in Southern Iraq, while the Sutayids and Jalayirids rule over the Oirat migratory pastures in Diyarbakir and Northern Iraq
  • Musa Khan is descended from Hülegu, hence the country should be Hüleguids
  • I have marked Musa Khan with a question mark, because while at the start of the game he was not in the Khorasani faction, he did join them a couple months later, in June 1337. Musa Khan joined the army of Togha Temür with his remaining Oirat forces, filling the gaps left by the Jauni Kurban and Kuhistan, whom had left the Khorasani army due to infighting with the vizier Shaikh Ali
  • Musa Khan died in the same month, in a battle against Hazan Buzurg of the Jalayirids, after Togha Temür abrubtly withdrew his forces (Did he want to get rid of a rival claimant?)
  • Hence, Musa Khan should start at war with the Jalayirids, same as the Khorasani, with an event to join Togha Temür as a co-belligerent in the same war (Both can accept or decline, but weighted towards accepting for AI)
13. Tabarestan, ruled by Iskandar II of the Baduspanid dynasty. During the disintegration of the Ilkhanate, Iskandar II took the opportunity to conquer a swath of land stretching from Qazvin to Semnan, likely in concert with the Khorasani campaign in the Spring of 1337. There is no specific mention of this affiliation, but a narrative can be formed from the available sources, which suggest that Iskandar II became subordinate to Togha Temür, either before or during the invasion of Persian Iraq
  • This affiliation might even go as far back as Togha Temür's coronation in the Winter of 1336/1337 in the neighbouring Mazandaran, which would have also been the occasion on which the Khorasani campaign was planned out
  • Additionally, in 1344, together with Hassan II of Mazandaran, Iskandar II decimated the Sarbadar army which was in pursuit of Togha Temür, which adds credit to this narrative
14. Mazandaran, ruled by Hassan II of the Bavandid dynasty, is a vassal of Togha Temür, whose tribe freely pastured in Mazandaran. Togha Temür is cited many times to have ruled Mazandaran/East Mazandaran, and having been crowned there, so it would seem the Bavandid dynasty had very little autonomy

15. The Jauni Kurban, ruled by amir Arghun Shah, is one of the most prominent makeshift tribal entities formed out of a collection of smaller military detachments from the time of the Mongol invasions. Arghun Shah abandoned the Khorasani campaign early in protest to the influence of Sheikh Ali Qushji, vizier of Togha Temür. (The Sarbadar rebellion in their lands might also have something to do with it)

Sheikh Ali Qushji's heavy taxation over Khorasan was one of the reasons for the Sarbadar rebellion. After Togha Temür was defeated in the West in June 1337, Arghun Shah captured Ali Qushji and had him executed, after which Arghun Shah became Temür's greatest supporter
  • I have marked the city of Sabzevar as ?, because I do not know if the city had it's own ruler, or if it was under the Jauni Kurban. What is known, is that the city was not under the Sarbadar rebellion at the start of the game
16. Herat, under the Kart maliks, was the most powerful of the Khorasani amirs who had sworn to Togha Temür. The Kartids were highly autonomous, and after Togha Temür suffered a series of devastating defeats after June 1337, the Kartids became practically independent

17. Kuhistan, under amir Abd-Allah Mulai. He also abandoned the Khorasani campaign early in protest to the influence of Ali Qushji

View attachment 1187223



Unaligned Countries?

18. The Sarbadars are a rebellion formed out of religious dervishes and secular rulers, which have risen up in North-Western Khorasan, as the Khorasani forces are busy campaigning in the West. The rebellion threatens the lands garrisoned by the Jauni Kurban and surround the city of Sabzevar, but haven't captured it yet. They would swear nominal allegiance to Togha Temür, and mint coins in his name, presuming that his inaction was an approval of their rebellion. Their attitude would change when Togha Temür later marched against them
  • I have marked the city of Sabzevar as ?, because I do not know if the city had it's own ruler, or if it was under the Jauni Kurban. What is known, is that the city was not under the Sarbadar rebellion at the start of the game
19. The Qara'unas, under the Mongol Negüderi tribe, based in Ghazna, Ghur and Garchistan. Couldn't find a ruler for them. They are said to be independent or under the influence of the Chagatai Khanate. However, the Chagatai are in a crisis at the moment. The Qara'unas used to be a Mongol tümen of ten thousand, but they and the land they inhabited would become a sort of "refugee state", with multiple different ethnicities, centered on a nucleus of Jochid Mongol soldiers and commanders.

20. Mihrabanids of Sistan

21. Kerman, a province ruled by the Mongol governor Qutb al-Din Nikruzi. The province would be granted to the Muzaffarids of Yazd in 1340 as a reward for helping the Chobanids against the Injuids. I have not found sources regarding the affiliation of Kerman prior to being conquered. Hence, they might be fence-sitting, along with many of the other southern Ilkhanate vassals, who were often more autonomous than their northern counterparts, even when the Ilkhanate was still whole
  • The Jurma'is and Ughan'is were makeshift Mongol tribes, similiar to the Jauni Kurban. These two tribes were much smaller, but caused significant trouble in both Fars and Kerman, so much so that the new (1340) Muzaffarid rulers were called upon to deal with them
22. Muzaffarids of Yazd

23. The Shabankara tribe of Ilj

24. Bāghs of Larestan

25. Injuids of Fars. Their name derives from the crown land tax (injü), which they collected on behalf of the Ilkhans

26. Hazaraspids of Great Luristan

27. Khorshidids of Little Luristan

28. Eastern Gilan, split between various principalities united in a defensive pact? Comprising most notably of the areas of Fuman, Lahijan, Tulims, Gaskar (Ziabar) and Rasht

Prawdopodobnie sporo przegapiłem, ponieważ moje pliki są w rozsypce. Jednak źródła te dają nam trochę narracji na temat tego, jak mapa powinna wyglądać 1 kwietnia 1337 r.



Cześć wszystkim i witamy w kolejnej Tinto Maps! Dzisiaj przyjrzymy się Persji i Kaukazowi ! Są to regiony obejmujące kilka współczesnych krajów i regionów (Irak, Iran, Beludżystan, Afganistan, Transoksanię itd.), ale dla uproszczenia postanowiliśmy nazwać ten DD w ten sposób. Zaczynajmy, bez zbędnych ceregieli!

Kraje :
View attachment 1187105
Region jest dość interesujący w 1337 r., ponieważ jest wiele krajów, z którymi można grać. Ilkhanate wciąż żyje, ale tylko z nazwy, a prawdziwą władzę sprawują Dżalajrydzi, którzy są władcami niektórych swoich sąsiadów (Czobanidów i Eretnidów). Inne kraje, takie jak Gurgan, Kartidowie i Muzaffarydzi, również walczą o hegemonię w regionie. Tymczasem najsilniejszą potęgą na Kaukazie jest Królestwo Gruzji, chociaż region jest również dość rozdrobniony między różnymi politykami.

View attachment 1187106
A skoro mowa o Ilkhanate, pewnie zastanawialiście się, dlaczego nie jest to zjednoczony tag... Cóż, to dlatego, że uważamy, że jest on wyraźnie w dekadencji, utraciwszy jakąkolwiek władzę nad prowincjami, więc najlepszym sposobem przedstawienia go jest Międzynarodowa Organizacja. To, co możemy zobaczyć w tym trybie mapy, to fakt, że są dwaj pretendenci do zdobycia władzy, Dżalajaridowie i Gurgan, podczas gdy inne kraje nadal są formalnie jego częścią. Nie będę dziś więcej mówił o tym, jak to działa i jakie są jego cechy, ale powiem tylko, że są dwa jasne losy dla Ilkhanate: rozwiązanie, jak to się historycznie zdarzyło, lub przywrócenie pełnej władzy jako zjednoczonego kraju.

Dynastie :

Dziś niewiele można powiedzieć o dynastiach, ponieważ w większości przypadków są one podobne do nazw krajów. Cóż, możesz się zastanawiać, która jest żółta, rządząca Gurganem... Tym krajem rządzą Borgijinowie, spadkobiercy Czyngis-chana. Teraz masz pełny obraz ich rządów nad Ilkhanatem, które są kwestionowane przez Dżalajrydów, myślę...

Wracamy do regionu z wieloma różnymi klimatami, topografią i roślinnością. To sprawi, że będzie on bardzo wyjątkowy pod względem rozgrywki i wyglądu.

Porty :

Pewnie zauważyłeś, że na Morzu Kaspijskim znajdują się porty... Ponieważ w naszej grze Morze Kaspijskie jest uważane za morze, mogą tamtędy przepływać statki i floty.

Kultury :

W całym regionie jest sporo podziałów kulturowych... Kaukaz to, cóż, Kaukaz, podzielony między wiele różnych osób. Następnie mamy Irakijczyków i Kurdów w Iraku, Persów i wiele innych kultur w Iranie, Beludżystan w Beludżystanie, Afgańczyków w Afganistanie oraz Chorasan, Turkmenów, Chorezmów, Hazarów i Tadżyków, między innymi, w Chorasanie i Transoksanii.

Religie :

Kolejna ciekawa sytuacja religijna. Prawosławie jest główną religią w Gruzji, a miafizytyzm w Armenii, z innymi wyznaniami rozsianymi tu i ówdzie po całym Kaukazie (chabzeizm i trzy wyznania „pogańskie”, karaczajsko-bałkarskie, wajnachijskie i lezgińskie). Następnie Irak jest podzielony między sunnitów na północy i szyizm na południu. Iran jest w interesującej sytuacji, mając sunnicką większość, ale z kilkoma ważnymi szyickimi enklawami tu i ówdzie. I oczywiście zoroastryzm. Nie było łatwo ich właściwie przedstawić, ponieważ nie mamy dobrych danych z XIV wieku. Więc zrobiliśmy kilka obliczeń, między źródłami, które mówią, że większość istniała jeszcze w XI wieku, a religia została poważnie zredukowana w XVI wieku. Dlatego zdecydowaliśmy się przyjąć 20% populacji jako ogólną regułę; jednak jesteśmy dość otwarci na opinie w tej sprawie.

Ten region jest pełen bogatych zasobów, w ostrym kontraście do tego, który pokazaliśmy w zeszłym tygodniu, Arabia. Jest kilka błędów na tym trybie mapy, które możesz zauważyć, myślę.

Rynki :

W regionie tym znajduje się kilka rynków: Tebriz, Bagdad, Isfahan, Hormuz, Niszapur i Zaranj. Skutkiem tego będą gospodarki regionalnie rozdrobnione, ale zintegrowane (czyli z dobrym dostępem do rynku wszędzie, ale z regionalnie zróżnicowanymi gospodarkami).

Populacja :

Całkowita populacja regionu wynosi około 9 mln, biorąc pod uwagę wszystkie różne obszary, które pokazujemy dzisiaj. Jest ona podzielona na około 4,5 mln w Iranie, 2 mln w Iraku, 1,5 mln na Kaukazie i około 1,5 mln w Transoksanii.

I to wszystko na dziś! W przyszły piątek przyjrzymy się Indiom! Tak, w całości; uważamy, że to najlepszy sposób, aby to zrobić, chociaż więcej o tym porozmawiamy w przyszłym tygodniu. Kolejna zmiana, tylko na przyszły tydzień: DD zostanie opublikowane o 10:00 zamiast o zwykłej 15:00, ponieważ nie będę dostępny po południu, aby odpowiedzieć. Daję znać, aby był porządny wow-pole-run, tak. Do zobaczenia!
