Iran/Persia + Wrong Flag

Hi! What I wondered about was that in the game is a country with the name Persia. In the year 1936 was the name IRAN and not Persia.
The flag is also wrong.

This is the real Flag of Iran in 1936!

I hope the next patch will correct the mistakes.

By the way why have Iran not so many people?
It had in that times a population of 30 million so it must get more reservists as it do in the version 1.06!

Thx!

You got a point there. I checked it up in the Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persia

"Westerners referred to modern day Iran as Persia until March 21, 1935, when Reza Shah Pahlavi formally asked the international community to call the country by its native name, Iran".

Unsure how Paradox made this mistake... something to correct in a patch perhaps?

Yes the name must be Iran, because the game begin 1936. If it would begin 1932 as sample it must be also an event which change the name in March 21, 1935 how you said to Iran. It is very strange that the name is Persia, because the real name of Iran is/was Iran since over 8000 years.
One of the oldest scripts of the mindkind write about the country Iran.
Which are from 4000 BC!
 
maybe someone from the modding community will create a correct flag. if this happens, I´ll try to get the correct flag into the patch.
