A Letter Like No Other
Of all the countries in the world, only one has a name that ends with the letter Q: Iraq. The letter Q is rare in country names to begin with. Just one country starts with it - Qatar - and just one ends with it - Iraq.
The Land of Two Rivers
Iraq is a country in West Asia. Much of its territory corresponds to ancient Mesopotamia, the land between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. This region is often called the cradle of civilisation, because some of the earliest cities, writing systems, and laws in human history emerged there thousands of years ago.
A Name From Ancient Roots
The name Iraq itself is old, and its exact origin is debated by scholars. What is clear is its rarity as a word. Most country names end in common letters such as A, like Canada and Australia, or N, like Japan and Iran. The letter Q makes Iraqs name stand out as a genuine piece of geographic trivia.
