Iraq

Iraq was a British protectorate in the Middle East before and during World War II. When the Race's Conquest Fleet invaded Tosev 3, it overran and conquered Iraq fairly easily. Iraq's arid desert climate was a good match for the Race's climatic preferences and they settled Iraq heavily. However, Iraq was a restive area, with its Islamic majority in perennial rebellion against the Race, and the area required heavy policing by Conquest Fleet veterans. The cities of Baghdad and Basri are in Iraq.
