Iraqi Meteorological Organization (http://meteoseism.gov.iq/) is part of the Ministry of Transportation. On the home page, there is a map for stations and when you click on one it gives you a two day forecast.

An example forecast is at http://meteoseism.gov.iq/index.php?name=Pages&op=page&pid=118. No precipitation data nor wind speed shown, only wind direction. A separate page for precipitation here (http://meteoseism.gov.iq/index.php?name=Pages&op=page&pid=155), but it only shows one day.

Historical statistical data has not been updated since March 2015, http://meteoseism.gov.iq/index.php?name=Pages&op=page&pid=169. No data for more recent months.

We could not find anything on the Iraqi Ministry of Environment's website (http://www.moen.gov.iq/), and not on the eGov Portal (http://www.egov.gov.iq/)

According to IBP's Open Budget Survey Iraq only has internal documents or no documents so very likely the data does not exist or is not collected properly.

We were not able to find aggregates for the whole country. Some local governorate-level websites, such as this (http://www.maysan.gov.iq/sensa/viewmove.php) and this (http://basra.gov.iq/ar/178/index.1.html), but data is either not complete or links not working. And there are no updates for more than a year.

It seems Iraq has a database of postcodes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_postal_codes_in_Iraq), but it is not georeferenced. We could not find the data on official website of postal service (http://www.iraqipost.net/).

Land ownership registration is part of the Iraqi ministry of justice, in their page (http://www.moj.gov.iq/tashkelat.7/ and http://www.moj.gov.iq/registration/) there are some news about the agency, but no way to request or search of the registration data.

There is a study dated to 2004 has some figures for CO, SO2, Pb, and TSP in air pollution in Baghdad published on Ministry of environment website. (http://www.moen.gov.iq/Portals/0/Studies/%D9%85%D8%AA%D8%A7%D8%A8%D8%B9%D8%A9%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AD%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A7%D8%AA%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D8%B1%D8%B6%D9%8A%D8%A9%20%D8%B0%D8%A7%D8%AA%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B9%D9%84%D8%A7%D9%82%D8%A9%20%D8%A8%D9%85%D9%84%D9%88%D8%AB%D8%A7%D8%AA%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%87%D9%88%D8%A7%D8%A1.pdf)

The data about parliament and governorates elections can be found at The Independent High Electoral Commission website (http://www.ihec.iq/ar/). the data on the website lacks the required information like number of registered votes,number of invalid votes, and number of spoiled ballots. You have to search on the website to find some data, for example the parliament election for 2014(http://www.ihec.iq/ar/index.php/news-archive/6075.html). The format of the data is PDF.

The Ministry of Trade has a department to register companies, you can only find the numbers of of companies from 2003 until 2013 on the ministry website. It is not clear if that department has a detailed record of registered companies in Iraq (http://www.mot.gov.iq/index.php?name=Pages&op=page&pid=57).
