Honestly I’d kind of assumed it’s arid just because of where it’s located, but y’know, I’m not an official of a country at war with them. In no way did I realise it extended far enough north to be partly outside the arid band north of the equator.
80% of Iran is arid or semi-arid in the koppen system, but because of their latitude and mountain ranges they do have a pretty unique weather system consisting of hot arid deserts sitting right next to cold arid deserts. Near the coastlines though it becomes humid subtropical. Iran has a very neat climate I’ve always liked researching
100% chance most officials think it’s a desert because arabs
One time I mentioned to a coworker there’s a ski resort in northern Iran and he said, “They have snow there? I thought they were Muslim.”
It’s a well known fact that any place a Muslim touches becomes a cartoon desert and anyone doing anything recreational gets killed on the spot /s
I’ve seen people say the same shit about Afghanistan, WHILE we were actually at war with them.
I met a Canadian couple in Vietnam who expressed surprise at seeing so many Russians there. They said that they didn’t think communists had holidays.
To their credit they allowed me to completely rewrite their world view over the course of a couple of weeks. They were alright, just very naïve.
Sid Myer’s civilization level understanding of the world.
Yes, the terrain gets generated based on which civ you choose.
My favourite desert country. Albania.
And also think Iranians are Arabs.
Because all Muslims are arabs!/s
