Kurdistan Region

The Kurdistan Region, also known as Iraqi Kurdistan, is an autonomous area in northern Iraq inhabited mainly by Kurds, an ethnic group with a distinct language and culture. It has its own government and security forces, allowing it a significant degree of self-rule, while remaining part of Iraq. The region is characterized by its rich history, diverse landscapes, and economic activities like oil production. It seeks to preserve Kurdish identity, promote development, and maintain stability within Iraq, often navigating complex relationships with the Iraqi federal government and neighboring countries.
