Babylon (although the borders of modern-day Iraq do not correspond precisely to the borders of the Babylonian empire at any particular time).

Not quite correct so far. Abyssinia was the old name of Ethiopia, Persia was the old name of Iran.
Iraq used to correspond to the Assyrian Empire, of which only Syria keeps the name. Before that it was home to Babylonia, and before that Sumer as well.
