The United Arab Emirates (UAE) was formed as a federation of seven emirates (Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, Umm Al Quwain), which came together as one state on the 2nd of December 1971.

The federal capital of UAE is Abu Dhabi and it is ruled by the President of the UAE, Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed al Nahyan. The Vice-President and Prime Minister is Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum, who is also the ruler of Dubai.

Originally the area was inhabited by a seafaring people in the 7th century. Later, a dissident sect established a powerful sheikdom, and its army conquered Mecca. After the sheikdom disintegrated, its people became pirates threatening the Sultanate of Muscat and Oman in the early 19th century, the pirates provoked the intervention of the British, who in 1820 enforced a partial truce and in 1853 a permanent truce. Thus what had been called the Pirate Coast was renamed the Trucial Coast. The British provided the Trucial states with protection but did not formally administer them as a colony.

The British withdrew from the Persian Gulf and in December 2, 1971 which now celebrated as the annual National Day, the Trucial states became a federation called the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The federation formed by seven emirates known as the Trucial States—Abu Dhabi (the largest), Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Fujairah, Ras al-Khaimah, and Umm al-Qaiwain.

Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the ruler of Abu Dhabi, became the first President of the UAE. After he passed away in 2004, he was succeeded by his son, Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, as the Ruler of Abu Dhabi and President of the UAE. In Jan. 2006, Sheik Maktoum bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the prime minister of the UAE and the emir of Dubai, died. Crown Prince Sheikh Muhammad bin Rashid al-Maktoum assumed both roles. In addition to a federal president and prime minister, each emirate has a separate ruler who oversees the local government.

This unity of the emirates led to an era of security and shared prosperity across the region that had been revolutionized with the discovery of oil and gas in 1958. With the revenue from these, the infrastructure and social services have been dramatically improved and are now amongst the best in the world.
