United Arab Emirates

From Heterodontosaurus Balls

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a really rich country that lives in the Middle East. UAE produces lots of oil. His clay borders Oman to the south and Saudi Arabia to the east. The UAE is also often seen as one of the more peaceful countries in the Middle East. As of 2019, he has 9.6 million people in his clay, although only 1.4 million are actually from the country, making UAE the 5th most popular human migration destination.

The U.A.E. is a member of the United Nations and the Arab League and has established diplomatic relations with more than 60 countries, including the U.S., Japan, Russia, the People's Republic of China, and most western European countries. He has played a moderate role in the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, the Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries, the United Nations, and the Gulf Cooperation Council.

Even if UAE is a rich country on the coast, he still has a problem finding clean water due to too much desert hovering up his clay. UAE is also a major non- NATO ally.

The national day of UAE is on December 2nd.

History

On 2 December 1971, six of the emirates that just became independent from United Kingdom ( Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Dubai, Fujairah, Sharjah and Umm Al Quwain) agreed to enter into a union named the United Arab Emirates. Ras al-Khaimah joined later, on 10 January 1972.

In February 1972, the Federal National Council (FNC) was created; it was a 40-member consultative body appointed by the seven rulers. The UAE joined the Arab League on 6 December 1971 and the United Nations on 9 December. UAE was a founding member of the Gulf Cooperation Council in May 1981, with Abu Dhabi hosting the first GCC summit.

Economy

Prior to the first exports of oil in 1962, UAE’s economy was dominated by pearl production, fishing, agriculture, and herding. Since the rise of oil prices in 1973, however, petroleum has dominated the economy, accounting for most of his export earnings and providing significant opportunities for investment. The U.A.E. has huge proven oil reserves, estimated at 98.8 billion barrels in 2003, with gas reserves estimated at (212 trillion cubic feet); at present production rates, these supplies would last well over 150 years. In 2006, the U.A.E. produced about 2.8 million barrels of oil per day.
