)
The queendom of Mazandaran is comprised of 42 satrapies in three main islands, and much like Equestria, is held by Celestia and her co-shahs. However, the distance from it to Equestria (even with modern airships, a trip from Rew-Ardašir, in the coast of Pars, to Sâxâbehamayazatapura, the westernmost major city, takes one or two days.) more or less ensures that Mazandaran is mostly autonomous from Equestria.
Most the satrapies differ from the Equestrian ones by following a hereditary succession system instead of the satraps being appointed by Celestia like in the mainland. some of them originate from the original colonies founded in the place from the 15th century onwards (which is the case for most of the eastern satrapies) and other from *parmush* chiefdoms that went under Equestrian suzerainity. (especially prevalent in the west).
The satrapies are also largely politically autonomous to a extent that isn't seen in Equestria. However, the past few decades have seen a trend towards unification, leading the queendom to function more as a confederation of satrapies. the main satrapy of the region is Raudeardwahišt, which possesses a great deal of economic importance in spite of its small size.
The second line under the satrapy names are their names in the Equestrian alphabet, which i heavily based on the Gothic one. a guide to what the letters mean is here.
