It was ruled by Shah Ali bin Gazim. A fairly conservative Islamic country, women were compelled to wear veils when in public and could be in a polygamous marriage with a man and up to three other women. The country was in a period of transition from an agrarian society to an industrial one. This transition was paid for by its county's oil reserves, which were seemingly destined to run out in about thirty years. Diplomatically, it wished, under bin Gazim's rule, to be officially neutral in the global struggle for its oil reserves, preferring to let market economics, and not geopolitics, determine its oil prices. This policy had, however, earned its leader enemies, including the country's own prime minister, Hassam. (Jaime and the King)
