Iraq. Iraq data

Iraq is an Asian country located in the Middle East. It has a population of approximately 30.7 million inhabitants, spread over a territory of 438 317 km².


The location of Iraq and neighboring countries.

The desert covers a large part of the country, with the exception of the area between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, where there is great soil fertility due to the influence that these watercourses produce on the surface. The northern part has a rugged relief, with the presence of mountains. It is precisely in this region that the highest point in Iraq is found, Mount Haji Ibrahin, with an altitude of 3600 meters.
The region where Iraq is located has an arid tropical climate, generally with mild, cold winters and hot, dry summers.
The country's main product is oil, on which the economy is extremely dependent. Another important export product is the date.
Given this information, it is clear that the Iraqi economic sector is very weak.
