3050 bc - A new despot, the Marquis of Darius, assumes leadership of the Persians. The realm is small, and the economy is nonexistent, causing the Marquis some concern. He decides the Persians need to expand to become a great people.
3000 bc - The Marquis orders the workers to new tasks, and the first gold is added to the Persian coffers.  Our brave phalanx is sent off to explore.
2800 bc - The phalanx stumbles upon an advanced tribe called Pasargadae. They join the Persian realm, and began equipping a warrior to increase our might.
In the following centuries, the phalanx and warrior explore the world, and settlers build the first roads. Persia lies on the northwest side of a continent. We may be alone, as there has been no contact with outsiders. Well, almost. A mysterius press release for some unknown historian's book arrived in the mail. The review listed the Persians as "pathetic."  The Marquis was not impressed with this, and steeled his resolve to improve the Persian state. He came up with the "Edict of the Marquis", the world's first code of laws. Being a geographer at heart, he formulated a way to make maps of the expanding Persian realm. He and the wise men decide a strong central leadership will be needed in order to become mighty. They begin scheming ways to create a monarchy.
2100 bc - Settlers found Susa on the coast southwest of the wheatfields which lie southwest of Persopolis.
2050 bc - The Marquis is pleased with the progress of the Persians under his direction. Settlers are seeking a new city site to the east. The navy's first ship, the trireme H.M.S. Marquis, is almost completed. The economy is growing. Time rolls on, and new leadership can bring good things. So the Marquis of Darius steps down as leader of the Persians and returns to the marches of Paha Sapa.
