Kurdistan, 230,000 square miles, is equal to Germany and Britain combined, or France or Texas.
Kurdistan is administered by Turkey, Iran, Iraq, Syria, and CIS.
At the end of WW I and the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire, the 1920 Treaty of Sevres anticipated an independent Kurdish state. But France and Britain divided Ottoman Kurdistan between Turkey, Syria and Iraq. This division was formalized by the 1923 Treaty of Lausanne.

In other words, a state that the Iraqi Kurds are trying to pull out of the mess in Iraq. Along with the petrolium, of course. I think they would have more chance if they accepted to share the petroleum with the rest of Iraq, but no. They have to get it all.
