Under the Constitution of Iraq adopted in 2005, one or more provinces may elect to form a federal region, which has the right to a share of oil revenues.
Modern Iraq mostly corresponds to Ottoman Iraq (the provinces of Baghdad, Basra and Mosul), and also includes parts of Zor and Arabia.[1]
The governorates are divided into districts.
