They live in Southern Iraq all around the cities of Basrah and An-Nasariyah. I know this because I was deployed to the part of Iraq and it was Shiite territory. The other two major groups are the Sunnis and the Kurds. Sunni's live more central, west and north (Sunni Triangle) more so in major cities like Baghdad and other urban areas. Kurds live in mountain areas close to Turkey and also by the Iran border as they still have battles with the Iranians.

Who do the shiites think should rule Iraq?

The Shiites in Iraq do not have a unified perspective on who should rule Iraq, which is why there are several Shiite-majority parties in the Iraqi Parliament. However, most Shiites would prefer if Shiites were in power over Iraq and are intensely distrustful of Sunni Arabs given the long history of repression visited on the Shiites during Sunni Arab power.

Does Iran take advantage of Shiites?

It is unclear what is meant by "take advantage of Shiites". Most of the Iranian population is Shiite, so the government certainly uses its population to its advantage. If the question is asking whether Shiites are repressed in Iran, the answer is, "No", since Shiites are the majority in all key government positions. It is non-Shiites in Iran, Sunni and Ahmadi Muslims, Jews, Christians, Zoroastrians, Baha'i, Yazdanis, and other religious minorities, that are harassed in Iran.
