Oh, and its currency is currently the world's most-valued (1 KWD = US$3.29). Funnily enough, the country is only a short distance away from Iran, whose currency is the world's second least-valued (1 Kuwaiti dinar is worth around 139,000 Iranian rial in the official exchange rate[[note]]The rial is ''[[RidiculousExchangeRates much]]'' less valuable in the black market, thanks to years of economic blockade imposed by the West towards Iran[[/note]]).

Kuwait, officially known as the '''State of Kuwait''' ('''Arabic:''' ''دولة الكويت‎ Dawlat al-Kuwayt''), is a Western Asian city-state on the Persian Gulf. It was founded in 1756 by a [[TheAlliance confederation]] of [[TheClan tribes]] in a seaside oasis. It was given the name it has, which is a transliteration of the Arabic word for "seaside fort". In other words the name means roughly "Shoreburg" or "Shorecastle".

Demographically, Kuwait is diverse, due to having more foreign expatriates than the native-born citizens. It once hosted the largest Palestinian community outside of the Levant, though most of them have been expelled, due to their collaboration with Iraq in bringing down the Kuwaiti regime during the Gulf War. The majority of Kuwait's Muslim citizens are, like the royal family, Sunni, with Shia making up the rest. Unlike UsefulNotes/{{Bahrain}}, the Shia are well integrated and have a close relationship with the emirs, as Saddam Hussein found out badly when he tried to rally them up against the government. This relationship also factors in to its sympathy for UsefulNotes/{{Iran}}'s interests during the recent conflict escalation between it and the UsefulNotes/SaudiArabia-spearheaded Arab/West bloc, with Kuwait being generally passive about Iran's endeavors and alleged support for proxies in the region (although it does support the 2015 Saudi-led invasion of UsefulNotes/{{Yemen}}, which aims to topple the Iran-aligned Houthi movement).

Oh, and its currency is currently the world's most-valued (1 KWD = US$3.29). Funnily enough, the country is only a short distance away from Iran, whose currency is the world's least-valued (1 Kuwaiti dinar is worth around 135,000 Iranian rial in the official exchange rate[[note]]The rial is ''[[RidiculousExchangeRates much]]'' less valuable in the black market, thanks to years of economic blockade imposed by the West towards Iran[[/note]]).
