Iraq

Actually, i'm not really know about Iraq. Generally, Iraq is a country in the middle east that had a capital city, Baghdad, in the center-east. The region of iraq was historically as known as mesopotamia which means in the between of Rivers.

Area Iraq was divided into 18 governorat, such as Baghdad, Salah ad Din, Diyala, Wasit, Maysan, Al Basrah, Dhi Qar, Al Muthanna, Al-Qādisiyyah, Babil, Karbala, An Najaf, Al Anbar, Ninawa, Dahuk, Arbil, At Ta'mim (Kirkuk), and As Sulaymaniyah. And the governorat were divided into some of qadhas.

Nowadays, in the most recent millenium, iraq has been made up of five culture areas: Kurdish in the north centered on Arbil, Sunni Islamic Arabs in the center around Baghdad, Shi'a Islamic Arabs in the south centered on Basra, the Assyrians, a Christian people, living in various cities in the north, and the Marsh arabs, a nomadic people, who live on the marshlands of the central river.
