Etymology
The suffix -stan (Persian: ـستان -stān) is Persian for "place of"[1] or "country"derived from Sanskrit sthan.[2]
Release
Its release was timed[3] to challenge that of The Fifth Estate, a film dramatization about WikiLeaks which Assange has described as a "propaganda attack" against the organization.[4]
