Iraqi Kurdistan

Iraqi Kurdistan is an autonomous region in northern Iraq, home to the Kurdish people, who have their own distinct language, culture, and government. It functions semi-independently, with its own security forces and political institutions, but remains legally part of Iraq. The region is known for its rich history, diverse landscapes including mountains and valleys, and relative stability compared to other parts of Iraq. It seeks greater autonomy and has a strong sense of Kurdish identity, contributing to regional and international efforts for peace and development.
