 Arbil - Indopedia, the Indological knowledgebase
The province of Arbil covers an area of 14,428 km² 5,570 miles² in the north of Iraq, with an estimated population (in 2001) of 1,134,300 people.
The region's economy is largely agricultural with some oil production and was badly affected by the conflict between Saddam Hussein and the Iraqi Kurds, although smuggling in defiance of the United Nations sanctions regime enabled many locals to keep afloat and even to prosper in some cases.
Since August, 2004, the Korean Zaytun Division (around 3,000 soldiers) were dispatched to the province for peace-keeping and reconstruction.

The PUK administers the northeastern Sulaymaniyah province, the northern portion of Kirkuk (or Ta'mim) province, and the area around Kuysanjaq in Irbil province.

The peshmerga continue to oversee security there and Kurdish members of Iraq's governing coalition, including President Jalal Talabani, have resisted all calls for them to disarmed, insisting they be retained as an independent unit within the Iraqi armed forces.
