Frequently asked questions

How many governorates does Iraq have?

Iraq has 19 governorates in the shared geography data. The map quiz uses the full set, including Baghdad, Basra, Nineveh, Al Anbar, and Halabja.

Which Iraq governorates are in the Kurdish northeast?

The Kurdish northeast group in the game data is Duhok, Erbil, Sulaymaniyah, and Halabja. Learning them together helps separate the mountain region from central and southern governorates.

Which Iraq governorate is the western desert anchor?

Al Anbar is the major western desert anchor in this map set. It is useful to learn beside Nineveh, Saladin, and Kirkuk.

Should I learn Iraq capitals after the map?

Yes. Capitals such as Mosul, Ramadi, Tikrit, and Hillah are easier when the governorates already have river, desert, mountain, or southern lowland clues.
