I don't think even the other half could help them with Russia
I would prefer a bear versus a whole sandwich, than half of one.
Russian manpower in the begining of the game is 100k+
Persias is something like 11k.
Having another 11k would not save you from defeat, only delay the inevitable.

I don't care about that, it just stinks, seen as most other countries are represented in full.
I know the colonial powers have tax modifiers to show the global standing. The 4v4 I think Spain had a 50% boost to global tax revenue. It wouldn't surprise me if persia also had some form of boost to represent the cut off chunk of their country.
I assume that the rest of the Nation is factored in for Manpower considerations. But either way Persia absolutely can't stand against Russia. Espcially with starting the game already at war with them.
I wouldn't jump to that conclusion, they will have forts, and there country is desert, so while Russia is struggling from attrition, you can run round the back, cut them off and watch them starve.
Well they start at war & the historical result is known.
It was the rest of the world heating up that kept russias attention on their west and south borders, allowing the south east border be ignored. Similar with ottomans that might want to finish the job of getting rid of the shiite heretics
Anyways, if playing persia,... id consider offering to satellite myself to russia, and then hope for tasty mesopotamian provinces from the ottos while we beat the ottos together. Perhaps even reaching the mediternean, egypt.. and almost restoring the achaemnid empire?
..as a satellite..
I guess if they can get some powerful friends quickly they might have a slim chance for survival but the odds are greatly stacked against them. I am guessing that Persia's forces are not very modern and Russia will simply grind them down.
I wish, my computer is old and dieing, so I'll have to wait 'til I get a new one, by which time we will be on March of the Eagles 4 and I'll need another new computer, with motion sensors, to portray myself as Napoleon.
Since the Russians might well get in an early war either with France or with the Ottomans or Sweden or anyone else the Russians don't like then it might be possible for Persia to hang on.
France wouldn't matter, they will have to go through Prussia & Austria first in most cases. And I doubt Sweden & the Ottomans would attack Russia off the bat.
So I guess we can consider Persia the ultimate Masochist country. Starting at war with Russia and not much hope for survival. I'd love to see an AAR of someone restoring the Achaemnid Empire.
Personally I decided that my first goal after getting this game was to mod in entire Persia. But the issue about expanding the map would mean that you'd have to expand Russia also, and that would just cause balance issues and give Persia a wider front as well. Just felt like alot of work for little gain. A fun fact though is that Persia always had the superior army sizes during the war, I believe. Russia didn't have that many fighting over there. Heck, it was Persia who attacked.
I'd imagine one of the first "big" mods made will be a whole world version of the map, so I wouldn't worry too long.
Ive been reminded that since Persia is already at war with Russia a guarantee with another power would be folly.
So basically unless another state goes after Russia, or Persia can get them to accept a white peace - they are more than likely snafu.

I saw in the 'Multiplayer let's play' with the devs that an event popped up for Spain granting him resources due to his American colonies. I imagine Persia will get a similar even for it's eastern provinces.
It's a bit sad the game won't simulate all the work the British and French went through to win the favor of Persia and fight Russia (Respectively).
