The Republic of Iraq is located in the Middle East. It borders Jordan to the west, Syria to the northwest, Turkey to the north, Iran to the east, and Kuwait and Saudi Arabia to the south. It has a small area of coastline on the Persian Gulf, and has two major and infamous rivers: the Tigris and the Euphrates.
75-80% of Iraq's population are Arabs. There is a large Kurdish population in the north of the country (roughly 15-20%), and a smaller number of other minorities such as Assyrians and Turkmen. Both Arabic and Kurdish are now official languages of Iraq, and other minority languages are official on a local level where significant populations exist.
In terms of religion, Iraq's population is roughly 3% Christian and 97% Muslim. The Muslim population is estimated to be 60-65% Shi'a and 30-35% Sunni. See the 4th map below entitled "Iraq's Ethnic Mix".
