From the transcript

It is a land stretching along the Taurus Mountains in the south of Turkey and down the Zagres Mountains in the west of Iran and nestling into the foothills of Syria and Iraq, from which the Tigris and Euphrates rivers draw their water. It comprises some half-million square kilometers and some fifty to sixty million people.

It is a nation by any common definition, a vast body of people unified by common culture and territory.

This is Kurdistan, and for all the things Kurdistan undeniably is, it's not a country. Despite a population in the tens of millions, a shared ethnicity, a language, and an undeniable cultural history, the Kurdish people do not occupy a recognized state of their own.
