The Persian civilization (Persians) is a default civilization in Civilization II.
Color
The Persians are a teal civilization. A game including the Persians will not involve the Americans, Arabs, or Chinese.
Leaders
The default male leader of the Persians is Xerxes ("zerk-SEEZ"). Xerxes I (519–465 BC) was the 5th Achaemenid emperor of Persia. He began the conquest of the Greeks contemplated by his father Darius but turned the Spartans at Thermopylae into martyrs, was lured into an naval ambush off Salamis, and finally lost his main army at Plataea. He successfully crushed subsequent revolts in Egypt and Babylonia but was eventually assassinated by a bodyguard.
The default female leader is Scheherezade ("shuh-HAIR-uh-ZAHD"), the heroine storyteller of the medieval Persian romance 1001 Nights. In the story, a king kills each of his virgin brides after a single night in order to avoid infidelity. Scheherezade arranges for her sister to be called in to ask for a story, which she draws out to a cliffhanger just as the sun is rising. She continues this until she has completely exhausted her knowledge of stories, but the king has fallen in love and takes her as his queen.
Persian leaders use the default titles of various governments, except for monarchy and fundamentalism. A Persian king or queen is known as a "shah". A Persian high priest or priestess, like an Arab one, is known as an "ayatollah".
Personality
The Persian AI is perfectionist.
City list

Tyre (as "Tyrus") and Gordium (as "Gordion") appear on the Roman list. The Turkish name of Iconium (in keeping with the rest of the list) is Konya.
Scenarios
In the Rome scenario, Persia has been overrun by the Greeks and its empire divided between the Celts, Ind. Greeks and Allies, Macedonian Greeks, Seleucid Greeks, and Ptolemaic Greeks.
In the World War II scenario, Persia is reduced to the city of Tehran, part of the Neutrals led by the aptly-named Shah Neutral Leader.
