Iraq

Iraq was a country in the Middle East.

History
In 1991, Iraq was subject to an invasion by the United States in an attempt to remove Saddam Hussein from power; which it ultimately did not.

Sometime in 1997, Iraq went to war with Iran.

Behind the scenes
Iraq is a real world country in the Middle East. The United States invaded Iraq in 2003 and removed Saddam Hussein from power. The U.S. also fought against Iraq in the 1990-91 Gulf War. The fact that Cyberpunk 2020 released in 1990 makes it possible that the creators of the series took inspiration from the then-current Gulf War and incorporated it into the game's lore. The Iran-Iraq War was also a real conflict fought from 1980 to 1988.
