war-state

When a state of war is declared on a country, or a country declares a state of war on another, they are considered to be a war-state, and are not eligible to compete in the Olympic games.

Iraq was a war-state, and technically, is still at war (although occupation is the final stage, imperialisation or handing over of power marks the end of war)
