The nation's territory first consisted of northern modern day-Iran. In the seventeenth century, the Amnerzanitean began their military conquests of the rest of the Persian Empire and the hordes in the East in Afghanistan. Where the Amnerzanitean Empire stopped their conquest and continued to hold their borders.

In the mid-1950s after the Second World War, Communism was threatening the Amnerzanitean Monarch, Emperor Abd-al-qadir Fraser in power. The Emperor was assassinated by the KGB and the Soviet Union established the Communist Party of Amnerzanitean to lead rebellions against their oppressors. The Emperor's eldest son, Mohammed Fraser would take the title of Emperor and lead the people to fight the Communists out of the Afghani regions.
