Republic of Northern Syria (First Century)

The Republic of Northern Syria, colloquially known as North Syria, Rojava, and rarely, Kurdistan or West Kurdistan, is a nation in the Middle East. It is bordered by Syria to the south and west, Turkey to the north, and Iraq to the east. Formed as part of the Ankara Peace Accords that concluded the Syrian Civil War, the Republic of Northern Syria is the second-longest lasting democracy in the Middle East (after Israel), the most free nation in the Levant and greater Middle East, and has the second-highest GDP per capita and quality of life (HDI) in the region (again, after Israel).
