The United Arab Emirates is
a Middle Eastern federation of seven states
situated in the southeast of the Arabian
Peninsula in Southwest Asia on the Persian Gulf,
bordering Oman and Saudi Arabia. The seven
states, termed emirates, are Abu Dhabi, Ajman,
Dubai, Fujairah, Ras al-Khaimah, Sharjah, and
Umm al-Quwain. The UAE, rich in oil and natural
gas, has become highly prosperous after gaining
foreign direct investment funding in the 1970s.
The country has a relatively high Human
Development Index for the Asian continent and
ranked 39th globally. Before 1971, the UAE were
known as the Trucial States or Trucial Oman, in
reference to a nineteenth-century truce between
Britain and several Arab Sheikhs. The name
Pirate Coast has also been used in reference to
the area's emirates in the 18th to early 20th
century.
