Administrative divisions of Iraq
(Redirected from Subdivisions of Iraq)
The main subdivision in Iraq is the 19 muhafazah, also known as governorates. Before 1976 they were called liwas, or banner.[1]
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 covers the Ottoman Empire vilayets (provinces) of Baghdad, Basra and Mosul and part of Zor and Arabia.[1]
The governorates are divided into districts.
