World Administrative Divisions - Add Halabja Governorate, Iraq

[TomWills]

Hi,

I notice that the World Administrative Divisions dataset does not include Halabja Governorate, a province in Iraqi Kurdistan that was established in 2014.

Would ESRI be able to consider including this in a future release?
Many thanks,

Tom

Hi Tom Willis‌,

Thanks for your question.

The Governate of Halabja is not included in this data set because it is not officially recognized by the Iraqi Parliament.

We will certainly include this in a future release of admin boundaries (and include in our basemaps) once it reaches full governate status in the eyes of their government.
