A brief introduction to the UAE

摘要

Small, warm and perfectly formed, if you want the lowdown on the U.A.E., the US Department of State provides a nice potted account on its web site- 30 000 sq. miles and 'about the size of Maine'. The population is about 8.9 million but slightly less than 1 million are 'locals'. There are no political parties and the Government consists of a seven member supreme council of rulers made up of the hereditary rulers of each emirate.You don't need democracy for success. UAE has a rate of growth of 6.3 % and a per capita wealth of US$53 000.
