[Tree of Liberty]

Valleygirl got it right. Here's the verse directly. I'm not enough of a scholar to say if Babylon was a subsection of Persia at the time, or if they were disparate entities.

Oh thank you, Tree of Liberty...I wish I was ValleyGIRL.
I picked ValleyGAL cuz I'm a tad over 40.

This map has Babylon marked on it in relation to the rest of modern Iraq, but it won't let me post the map itself. Here's the link which will have to be copied and pasted into your browser. It shows Babylon to be somewhat south of Baghdad, between the Tigris and Euphrates.
