(the constituent emirates are “Abu Dhabi” (which serves as the capital), “Ajman”, “Dubai”, “Fujairah”, “Ras al-Khaimah”, “Sharjah” and “Umm al-Quwain”)
(each emirate is governed by an absolute monarch; together, they jointly form the “Federal Supreme Council”)
(one of the monarchs is selected as the “President of the United Arab Emirates”)
