That's the modern day city of Babylon, but I think that ancient Babylon encompassed a larger region. In either respect, I don't know if Babylon was part of Persia at the time Michael was battling with the Persian prince (and thusly tying in with Iraq), or if Babylon was part of a separate nation, if not a nation to itself.
