Kurdistan should be a country it has its own army, Parliament, ministries, flag, language and ethnicity. I work in Kurdistan and it definitely feels like a different country to Baghdad.
It's an autonomous region of Iraq as Scotland is part of the UK!
The good thing is that you get a different stamp if you cross into Kurdistan directly.
Just like England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland ... Kurdistan is not on the International Standards Organisation [an independent international body] list of country codes ISO 3166
