Request to add Kurdistan Region (KRG)

[dusky seal]

I am requesting to add the Kurdistan Region as an official autonomous entity in the game, similar to how Hong Kong works. It is a recognized reality and would be a great addition for the Kurdish community! ☀️🚩"

[proven light]

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

[ornate hazel]

Real

[agile harness]

But the problem is Hong Kong is not added to the game

You can create what you want on custom

Like world map and it's current state

[dusky seal]

Comparing Kurdistan to Hong Kong is another mistake. Hong Kong doesn't have its own army or the same level of federal autonomy that the Kurdistan Region has. Many other games, including major strategy titles, recognize the KRG because of its unique status. If the community is voting 'No' without understanding the facts, it doesn't change the reality on the ground. We are here to stay, and we will keep requesting our right to be represented. ☀️🚩"

Delete ts sh**

Bro i love 2017

[agile harness]

we’re keeping it simple. Kurdish region in north iraq stays part of iraq in this game, not a separate faction. It’s competitive, so we can’t add half-independent stuff because it messes with balance.

[pallid current]

If they add Iraqi Kurdistan then they must also add Catalonia and that will spoil the game lol

And If they add Catalonia Spain's economy will become 1m lol

[spiral plover]

Guys how everyone disliked

This suggestion

Keeping it simple shouldn't mean ignoring reality. Many other regions in the game have similar status but are included. As for 'balance,' it’s a strategy game—adding a faction with its own borders and military (Peshmerga) actually adds more depth and challenge, not 'mess.' If smaller territories are in the game, why exclude a major one like the Kurdistan Region? The community wants it, and ignoring players' requests is what truly messes with the game's success. ☀️🚩"

[dusky seal]

There’s a huge difference. The Kurdistan Region (KRG) has its own official constitutionally recognized government and its own official military (Peshmerga) that defeated ISIS. It’s not just a 'political movement' like Catalonia; it’s a functional state-like entity with borders and an army. Adding it is about realism, not 'spoiling the game.' If the game claims to be a realistic world map, it can't ignore the Kurds.

Disliking a suggestion doesn't change the facts on the ground. The Kurdistan Region is a reality with its own borders and military. If you prefer a simple, unrealistic game over a detailed strategy experience, that’s your choice. But the community of players from this region won't stop asking for representation. Facts over feelings! ☀️🚩"

[agile harness]

"The community wants it" the suggestion has 10 dislikes no offense here

Also by competitive and balance I mean competitive multiplayer/singleplayer is already hard to balance and adding factions like kurd north region would require also adding factions in africa and others

[pallid current]

Bro lol

[pallid current]

Catalonia region is recognized and belongs to Spain just as Iraqi Kurdistan is recognized and belongs to Iraq gng

[high kestrel]

kurds are cute but not recognized as country

[ornate hazel]

Problem is if we was to add regions, then the entire game would be more regions based rather than country based

[violet rose]

You can add it as a puppet statet under iraq cuz it actually has self rule

[ornate hazel]

Then wouldn't you have to do that with Russia, Germany and the USA all have self governing Territories as they are a Federation

[proven light]

"Ignoring reality" when no one even recognizes you as an independent country is crazy work

Ofc no one will like you when you want to take a huge part of 4 countries (syria, turkey, iran, iraq)

No one even likes the idea of kurdistan existing

It's just the northern part of iraq and that's it

You act all strong yet still beg for money from baghdad every year

Stop this bias, no one recognizes kurdistan, and never will.

The only people i see that REALLY recognize kurdistan are the kids on tiktok/youtube and that's it

Your region doesn't even recognize islam when iraq is LITERALLY a muslim country

Are we serious

[tidal ruin]

I understand that it can’t be included into the game since others would want the same like Catalonia or transnistria South Ossetia Abkhazia etc.But let’s be respectful to each other

[pallid current]

Iraq is not a Muslim country gng

[thorny pawn]

it is

[high kestrel]

vro isnt it point?

arent kurds in north

[pallid current]

Nah And u r not Iraqi so u cant tell me abt my country

[high kestrel]

vro ur country is 98% muslim

officially 99%

if thats not muslim country then idk what is

[proven light]

My bad

[proven light]

?

What do you call a country that celebrates eid then?

Jew?

[pallid current]

NAH its not even 90%

[pallid current]

Iraq is a multi religious country and its constitution is not Islamic it is not Afghanistan body

[pallid current]

Where did you get your statistics from lmao

99%?

[high kestrel]

iraq stated themselves its 99%

anyway its on wikipedia

[shrewd spindle]

Your NOOOO was super funny

[pallid current]

Brah Only the Christians make up 5% to 8%
Those who have left Islam in Iraq constitute at least 10% u can see Gallup

It is impossible to say that the percentage of Muslims in Iraq is 99% lol

[high kestrel]

well thats what they are stating, its probably not true

but i wouldnt suprised much considering all other arab countries do it as well

[proven light]

Most of them are muslim

Iraq IS indeed a muslim country

[pallid current]

Lol

u tried that in 2013 and u failed

[proven light]

?

What is bro saying

[proven light]

So only because some percentages that are not muslim makes the country non muslim?

[high kestrel]

i mean his news are also false

[proven light]

France has 10% muslims does that mean they are muslim

[high kestrel]

he is reading news where it says % of non religous iraqis went from 9% to 30%

[proven light]

Ofc not, they are obviously a chirstian country

[high kestrel]

that would mean iraq has biggest rate of atheism in world which i doubt

bigger than european countries

[proven light]

Lol

[proven light]

Fake as hell

[high kestrel]

this is worse than north korean propaganda😂

20% jump in 8 years, with this rate, iraq is almost 50% atheist now

[proven light]

Even israel has 70% of people that are jews and if iraq has 30% that means that they are barely half the jews in israel

Which is fake as hell

[proven light]

Fr

[cyan wave]

Croat doing everything except studying

[proven light]

How

[high kestrel]

indeed

[pallid current]

Iraq is the"""""Arab"""""" country with the highest number of atheists gng
This massive increase is due to the entry of ISIS and the rule of Islam over half the country in 2014
So r u saying that the 99% Muslim is correct ?

[high kestrel]

99% muslims is what iraq states

its also not highest number of atheists "gng", ur pulling ur data from news that pull data from unofficial reports

[pallid current]

Wikipedia is not the Iraqi government son😭😭😭

[high kestrel]

wikipedia is just stating what iraqi government stated, its not hard to use brain

[pallid current]

Bro

[high kestrel]

wikipedia doesnt magically do their reports on things lol

[pallid current]

The Iraqi government has never compiled a census of the religions of its population

You can look at the sources below

Their words are not from the Iraqi government ahh

[high kestrel]

bro

r u like cherrypicking or geneuinly getting these things

cuz when u write religon in iraq

u get all sites stating iraq is 97%+ muslim

genuenily dont know if ur ragebaiting or acting dumb

[pallid current]

Brah This statistic does not include those who have left Islam

[high kestrel]

when i go to association of religion data, i get 0.18%

and 0.48% agnostic

[pallid current]

Bro like r we deadass
Anyone who leave Islam in Iraq will naturally go into hiding for fear of the militias

If u just go to Reddit you'll find that the number of Iraqi agnostics is more than 0.48%

[high kestrel]

thats why country is 99% cuz nobody dares to leave islam

its not my fault half muslim countries force their population into islam

im just finding it weird to say its 30% atheists, its like saying north korea has highest political freedom

30% atheists arent even in most european countries, if it was 30% atheists then militias would have no effect there or there would be atheist militias

cuz 30% is alot of population to not be able to face militias

nigeria is like 50% 50%, there are both christian and muslim militias

[pallid current]

It's impossible to get accurate statistics on the number of atheists or non religious people in Iraq bc everyone hides for fear of their lives But your claim that a country invaded by ISIS 10 years ago destroying its economy and killing its people is 99% Muslim is nonsense

[high kestrel]

i never even mentioned ISIS nor history of iraq, ur tweaking

[pallid current]

Bro

Fr

I did

Not u

[high kestrel]

im just saying its more likely 10000 others sources saying iraq is 99% muslim is more accurate than stating 30% are atheists

u can use critical thinking, this is basics of common sense and sociology.

[pallid current]

I didn't even said 30%

[high kestrel]

u sent this, ur not reading what u send or what?

[pallid current]

This was a simple example of ur exaggeration
Btw Saying that Iraq is an Islamic state bc the majority of its inhabitants are Muslim is like saying that Spain is a Christian state
Bro fr Muslims in Iraq do not exceed 70%

[high kestrel]

im not even exaggerating, im reading what is presented to me

100 international sources saying iraq is above 98% muslims and ive only come accross this statement of 30% which u have sent

i feel like ur speaking subjectively lol

[pallid current]

From the beginning the discussion was abt whether Iraq is an Islamic state or not not the number of Muslims But did these sources go door to door and ask them about their religions? It's just a superficial statistic
Even Saudia which has one of the highest percentages of Muslims in the Middle East does not have a 99% Muslim
So How can u expect a country that ISIS has destroyed and continues to destroy to be 99% Muslim? Unless all Iraqi r dumbass

[high kestrel]

u think all these sources are pulling their numbers for fun except study published in news

[pallid current]

So didn't u tell me how they counted the number of atheists when atheists hide themselves for fear of being killed? Btw they didn't count me lol

[high kestrel]

this is very primitive way of thinking but i will roleplay with this, if all atheists are hiding how did they managed to count 30%

that would mean 30% population is hiding which is very unrealistic

[pallid current]

A primitive way of thinking?

Bro How can they know the number of atheists in Iraq without asking them

Wdym a primitive way of thinking

u r trying to ragebait me ig

[high kestrel]

thats not how things work bro, i love how people underestimate world

[high kestrel]

ur one without logic so u get ragebaited with common sense

[pallid current]

Brah

This is so fkn stupid bro

Iam out

[high kestrel]

but ur unironically contradicting urself

if they cant know how many atheists are there, how would u know

like this makes 0 sense, ur speaking from feelings instead of statistics

[pallid current]

Common sense dictates that ur sources can identify atheists yet they never declared themselves atheists throughout their lives for fear of being killed

[high kestrel]

but how u know how many atheists are there

[pallid current]

Who told u Ik Bro?

[high kestrel]

cuz ur one stating those statics are false without any proof

[pallid current]

Ofc I didn't enter the homes of 50 million people and question them abt whether they were Muslim or not

[pallid current]

So I can say that 80% of Iraqis r atheists and I don't need to bring proof rather whoever opposes this should bring proof

Deadass

[high kestrel]

well they actually have proof unlike u

[pallid current]

What is it?

[high kestrel]

billion sourcing backing up claim its 99% muslim

unlike u

[pallid current]

lol

[high kestrel]

bro but ur so subjective, its obvious ur atheist living in iraq

[pallid current]

Do u even use ur brain

[high kestrel]

unironically ur telling me that

u know those reports and questionaires are private

which means iraqi danogerous milita wont get to know

[pallid current]

But neither I or my friends received these questions

[high kestrel]

legit CIA is estimating there are 95-98% muslims

[pallid current]

Wasn't it 99%

[high kestrel]

bcs iraq never asked nor can ask minors about their religion

[pallid current]

Bro iam out

Pls use ur brain next time

Pls

[high kestrel]

oh 98% and 99% is big difference, u won argument

30% atheists is closer to 95% than 99% is closer to 98%

[pallid current]

1% mean 500000

Ofc it matters

[high kestrel]

so ur gonna kill all my claims cuz of 1% even tho ur difference is by 25%?

u know those things cant be accurate, its all aproximate since u cant get to know religion of every person in country if ur not doing census

[pallid current]

Well They didn't ask my family either

[high kestrel]

well yes cuz they select random people, not whole nation

[pallid current]

Lol

Ok

[high kestrel]

they select like 1k out of 10 million

[pallid current]

None of those selected went on social media and said this

How do u even know

[high kestrel]

also its much more complex, its not that primitive, idk either how it exactly works since i didnt study sociology deep enough

[high kestrel]

said what, i dont get u

ig CIA used more things like going to mosque and stuff like that

i would need to dig into methodolgy which i dont care enough to do

[pallid current]

Hhhhhhh

هو وحده من الاثنين لو يستخنث علي لو يدور لفل براسي

Fine

Bye

[high kestrel]

yeah they dont ask ppl actually instead they take it for multiple documentation

[wheat flower]

i think in future allah will choose someone who will make great kurdistan again

[proven light]

Kurdistan was never great

[thorny pawn]

how do you know i’m not

what if i am

don’t assume

[fiery forge]

fake 😂

[fiery forge]

he's just have problems with Islam so he will try to say that iraq is atheist without any proofs

[mellow arrow]

then why is Western Sahara added

Kurdistan can exist as a claim, but in my opinion not as immediately Independent

[agile harness]

Its recognised as a part of Iraq officially but western Sahara doesnt really have an army

Its just recognised as a country

[pallid current]

Keep crying body

[mortal iron]

No it's not

Western Sahara was, is and ALWAYS WILL BE MOROCCAN!

[raven dune]

Never Post a Suggestion Ever Again

[dusky seal]

It is ironic to talk about defending Islam and Jerusalem while ignoring history. When the Kurds held power, under leaders like Saladin, Jerusalem was liberated and protected. We defended those values through actions, not just empty words.
Today, there are 22 Arab states, yet most remain silent or are openly engaging in things contrary to those values. That is a reflection of their current reality, not the Kurdish commitment. The Kurds have proven that when they are empowered, they take a stand. So, don't lecture me about 'defending the faith' while your own regional powers remain silent and contradictory to the values you claim to hold."

Hahahah

[proven light]

Kurdistan would've not existed without iraq btw

And 32 ppl already said no to your suggestion

So quit it

[devout vortex]

😂😂😂😂

[craggy prairie]

NEVER

[spice needle]

never😂😂😂

[hybrid gale]

Ok, but the game is based on current world, and it simply does not exist as a seperate country now

[quaint siren]

Western Sahara, Kosovo, Somaliland, and Taiwan are shown as independent because they are not autonomous regions, but have declared independence

Kurdistan, specifically Iraqi Kurdistan is an autonomous region in Iraq and is not independent or hasn't declared independence so it would make no sense to add it

[rocky oak]

Transnistria should be added
