Explanation:

To determine which nation loses the most land and people, we compare the percentage of the total Kurdish population residing in each country (a proxy for the size of the Kurdish community within that nation) and the extent of the Kurdish homeland within its borders. Turkey has the highest percentage of the total Kurdish population (42%) and a large portion of the Kurdish homeland within its territory, meaning it would lose the most people and land if Kurdistan were formed.

Answer:

Turkey
