Sunnistan, Shiastan and Kurdistan
Approximate areas of ethno-religious groups' majority regions (Sunni Arabs in green, Shia Arabs in dark green, and Kurds in yellow; minorities in grey).
It has been proposed by international powers that Syria and Iraq be divided into Sunnistan, Shiastan and Kurdistan. Sunnistan would become a Sunni Arab state in northwest Iraq and eastern Syria, Shiastan a Shia Arab state in southeast Iraq, and Kurdistan in northern Syria and northern Iraq. Some experts support the creation of a Sunnistan.
- Sunnistan
- Most of the Sunni Arab area in Syria and Iraq is occupied by Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant in March 2016.
- Shiastan
- All of the Shia Arab area in Iraq is controlled by the Federal government of Iraq and/or Shiite militias.
- Kurdistan
- All of the Kurdish areas in Syria are controlled by Rojava, while all Kurdish areas in Iraq are controlled by the Kurdistan Regional Government.
