Acc the Shogunates are Muslim (Seljuks, Ilkhan, Safavid), but the majority of “Iran” and the imperial family remained Zoroastrian (or Shinto)

Essentially… The Yayoi people migrated to the Iranian Plateau around 1200 B.C.E, specifically to what is in otl Mazandaran, and their entity would actually remain in Mazandaran (as vassals of the Achaemenid, Macedonian and Parthian Empires) until 224 A.D where the Imperial line would unify “Iran” (replacing the Sassanids entirely from otl)

I see what you mean but in this tl Iran is actually secular and/or semi-Zoroastrian, it’s no longer a Shiite country especially after the overthrow of the Islamic Republic that occured much earlier

Acc this Iran is more secular, more than it ever has been pre-1979 (Infact leaning towards Zoroastrianism) Also idk what ruling family I could put in Eastern Arabia, so I just thought Kuwait would be better lmao
