Abstract
The concept of "government" and "border" in the history of Iran has been as important as the length of Iran's history. Because the Iranian governments have focused on these two concepts and placed their identity on these two components in the exercise of authority.Perhaps it was from this point of view that some old researchers consider the phenomenon or concept of "government" to be an Iranian invention. The political geography of governments throughout Iran's history, despite being uneven, is based on several variables and indicators, and all of them are a function of diverse and complex issues and components that make it difficult to draw a fixed pattern for the entire history of Iran. Historical research shows that the first Iranian civilization in the east of the Iranian plateau (which was formed after the arrival of the Aryans) was probably the Kavianis (Kianians). Therefore, the importance of Iran's political geography started from the eastern plateau, but gradually moved to the west and then to the southern regions. After the arrival of Islam in Iran, we see an unbalanced distribution in the political geography of governments, but the center of the Iranian plateau is considered the most important point. In this research, we seek to analyze the conceptual map of the political geography of governments in Iran.
