The United Arab Emirates is a constitutional federation of seven emirates:
Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm al-Qaiwain, Ra's al-Khaimah and Fujairah.
The federation was formally established on 2 December 1971. They were established by the Trucial states, after their independence form Britain. The Trucial States were a group of sheikhdoms in the south eastern Persian Gulf, previously known to the British as the 'Pirate Coast', which were signatories to treaties with the British government. *A sheikdom is a geographical area or society that is ruled by a sheik(an honorary title used exclusively for royalty).
Each state within the UAE, is largely independent. The states are however, a Supreme Council of Rulers made up of the seven emirs. These emirs appoint the prime minister and the cabinet.
