Kuwait is huge!
Kurmanjestan and lurestan? Never heard of these nationalisms...or you want two kurdish states? Traitor!

Khuzestan is for the Sunni Arabs - correct.
Peonicia is for the Shia Arabs residing by majority in "Peonecia" or as I like to call it "PheoneSHIA"
Kuwait is the same size as it has always been... I didn't touch it... You should consider taking a geography class!
Kurmanjestan for the Kurmancî Kurds who were deported to North West of "Mashad" city in "Khorasan" Province in Iran... The Kurds were moved here to defend the border against the invading Turks and Mongols... Because of the reputation Kurds have as fighters... These were Kurds of the Jelalî tribe... From Makû, Agrî and the surrounding areas...
They still speak Kurmancî - but with many Persian words. Still their Kurdish is intelligeble to an educated and "cosmopolitan" Kurmancî speaker... (In e.g. if you also comprehend the alternative words used in Kurdish for nouns, verbs etc.).
The Kurmancî Kurds of Khoresan still consider themselves as Kurds and not least as "Kurmancî" (which was the "normal" term to use by Kurds in general for themselves).
And the reason I have put them on the map is because WHEN Islamic Republic Iran falls apart, THEY along with the Baloch, Kurds, Azeri and Lors/Bakhtîarî should be given AT LEAST federal states within Iran...
The Lurs/Lors are by SOME viewed as Kurds and by others as Persian - but the reality is that SOME Lors/Lurs see themselves as Kurds (mainly those who are in contact with Kurds in the northern fringes of Lurestan). The majority of Lurs/Lors see themselves as nothing BUT Lors/Lurs, and should therefore also be given a federal state within Iran - at the very least... And independence at the best...
The truth is that the Lurs/Lors are closer genetically, culturally and socially to the Kurds than any other peoples - well except for the Bakhtîarî - which are "counted" as Lors/Lurs by most people/historians etc.
So there is only one KURDISH state - but two KURDIC states!

Kurmancîstan would be the second one... And maybe we will see "Kurdistana Sor" - Red Kurdistan surface once more when the Karabakh problem has cooled off?
