Reuploaded because many of the phases I used in the previous version had some flags that were from...less than reliable sources. So I cut 'em out.

Anyway, yeah, mantle has been taken from u/3_tankista since he stepped down.

Medes -> Achaemenids -> Macedon -> Sassanids -> Umayyad Caliphate -> Abbasid Caliphate and Saffarid Dynasty -> Seljuq Empire -> Mongols and Khwarazm Sultanate -> Ilkhanate -> Safavid Dynasty -> Afsharid Dynasty -> Qajar Dyasty -> Pahlavi Dynasty -> Iran

Why you leave out cute little Timurid

u/NotExistor Jan 19 '16

No reliable flag. But if you want to see the original that did include the Timurids, I have it here.

Just to be clear, that Ancient Mongol flag is kosher? I may want to use it for a comic in the near-ish future.

Iran spends such a long time progressing, only to go insanely backwards in 1979.

GG Iran.

Blame the people who dumped the democratrically elected PM for the authoritarian monarch who pushed all the resistance into the mosques in the first place.

Why can't Sassanid see? He can't capture Roman emperors if he can't see.

See those dark circles around the eyes?

That's Iran smoking pot before hipsters.

What is the green Bahraini/Qatari-looking flag that's being used as a human shield in the 6th panel?
