Iraqball

Iraqball, officially the Republic of Iraqball, is a rock a civil war countryball in the Middle East. He is bordered by Turkeyball to the North,  Saudi Arabiaball to the South and Southwest,  Syriaball to the West, along with  Jordanball to the Southwest, and  Iranball to the East, with  Kuwaitball to the Southeast. The country is divided into nineteen Governorates. Altogether, however, he has a total area of 168,754 square miles, making him the 58th largest country in the world. As of 2018, he maintains a population of 38.12 million inhabitants.

Iraqball is a member of the Arab Leagueball and the  OICball due to being a majority Muslim country in the Arabian Peninsula, as well as the  UNball like almost every other country.

Iraq is sometimes seen as the cradle of civilization as his clay was once home to Mesopotamia, an ancient civilization situated between the Tigris-Euphrates river. However, due to large amounts of conquests from foreign powers (Such as Persiaball and  Macedonball, and  British Empireball), along with the ongoing conflict he's dealing with, it is very hard for people to believe it. He is more often seen as one of the worst countries in the world to live in, which has led to many Iraqis seeking refuge in USAball and  EUball.

His national day is October 3.

History
Iraqball is situated on the Tigris-Euphrates river system which is where the ancient civilization of Mesopotamia emerged. Sumerian, Akkadian, Babylonian, and Assyrian civilizations would be located in Iraqball. Mesopotamia would come under Persian rule, then came under  Greek rule, then would be fought over between  Romans and  Persians until the  Muslim conquests of the 7th century. Abbasidball took over all of Umayyadball's clay (expect Spain) in the 750 thanks to the persian general Abu Muslim.

Abbasidball had tried to push out Byzantine Empireball out of the middle east but many times but falied but at the very least whooped Byzantine in many won battles. Buyidball tried to remove him but Seljukball came on the rescue and removed Buyidball. However  Abbasidball poisned his sultan so  Seljukball anchlussed his clay before regaining independence. Baghdadball would become the center of the Islamic golden age with very well known books until the Mongols invaded and besieged Baghdad in 1258, burning all the important advanced sources of islamic history. The cityball would never feel the same again.

After most of the city had been mercilessly burned down, Iraq would become a province of Ilkhanateball which he would cross though to attack  Mamlukball,. But After Ilkhanateball got sick and died from the black plague, Iraq's clay would be ruled by the Ilkhan persianized son of Jalayiridsball who wanted to resurrect part of  Abbasidball before he was slained by the emerging  Timurid Empireball. Jalayiridsball became Timur's slave province and would be later liberated by the turkic Qara Qoyunluball until he became unfriendly who took his clay and occupied it like his brother Aq Qoyunluball for the rest of the 15th century. In the 1500's Safavid Dynastyball conquered and ruled over what were the defunct Aq Qounlu and Timurid Empire restoring Persian control over Iraq. The neighboring Ottoman Empireball didn't want the middle east to be dominant shia and that shia beliefs would take over anatolia, so around the 1530's he occupied Iraq as a buffer zone for the rest of 16th century.

The Ottoman-Persian wars really shaped Ottoman society in Iraq. Safavid Dynastyball fought over control of it's Islamic holy siteballs/cityballs including the capital and even sought control over it once before Ottoman reaptured it. It's occupier Ottoman Empireball on the other hand elects sultans to rule over the area and put dwn some  Kurdish revolts. The self govering sultans take slower time to modernize the country.

''Before World War I, British Empire colonized neighoring  Kuwaitball. When the Ottomans joined the war against the Entente, Bratain declared war on Ottoman Empireball and invaded though Kuwait. Due to arab resistance against the Ottomans'', Ottomanball was partitioned by British Empireball and British Iraqball would be dominiated by the  British until the formation of  Kingdom of Iraqball in 1932 (Which would be a British puppet state from 1941-1947).

Iraqball came to be in 1958 after he decided to become a "republic". He was actually a single-party military junta. Ten years later, he became under Ba'ath rule but was still a single party military dictatorship. He then declared war on Iranball in 1980 to "liberate"  Khuzestanball. Because he couldn't pay debts to Kuwaitball he declared war on him in 1990 claiming that  UKball stole  Kuwaitball from him in colonial times and that  Kuwaitball was stealing Iraqi oil. He failed because the USAball-led coalition stopped him from annexing  Kuwaitball. Then in 2003 being invaded by USAball, with the intention of liberating. This ended up backfiring immensely. He pulled out in 2011 but ended up in even worse condition. He is now technically friends with USAball, but that doesn't matter much. He recently ended a civil war after removing ISIS from his clay.

Before, 15% is sieged by Kurdistanball. Recently, ISISball in Western Mosul was on the offensive as his forces advance. But now, he succeeded to take the whole of Mosul from ISIS. He also recaptured Tal-Afar and was now invading Hawija and he won. His final campaign was his Western Iraq Campaign, and he liberated the desert on December 9th, ending ISISball in Iraqball. On December 10th, Iraqball celebrated the end of ISISball with a parade.

In the 1st of October 2019, Major protests started in Iraqball due to the major corruption of the leaders in Iraqball and the influence of Iranball in Iraqball.

2020 does not seem the best year for Iraqball, one of his generals got killed in an airstrike by  USAball which caused Iraqball to make a vote to remove American soldiers from His clay.

In February 2020, Iraqball had its first infection of coronavirus which caused it to close many of its borders and schools.
