Country: Bahrain, officially the Kingdom of Bahrain, island country situated

near the western shores of the Persian Gulf. On 15 August 1971, Bahrain

declared independence. On 14 February 2002, Bahrain changed its formal

name from the State (dawla) of Bahrain to the Kingdom of Bahrain.

Capital: Manama

Area: total 780 km². (The largest land mass, at 55 km long by 18 km wide.)

Population: The population in 2010 stood at 1,234,571, including 666,172

non-nationals.

Climate: The seas around Bahrain are very shallow, heating up quickly in the

summer to produce high humidity, especially at night. Summer

temperatures may reach up to 50 °C under the right conditions. Rainfall in

Bahrain is minimal and irregular. Rainfalls mostly occur in winter, with a

recorded maximum of 71.8 mm.

Economy: Bahrain has the first post-oil economy in the Persian Gulf. Bahrain

has heavily invested in the banking and tourism sectors. (According to a January

2006 report by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia, Bahrain

has the fastest growing economy in the Arab world. Bahrain also has the freest economy in the

Middle East and is twelfth freest overall in the world based on the 2011 Index of Economic

Freedom published by the Heritage Foundation/Wall Street Journal.)

Politics: Bahrain under the Al-Khalifa regime claims to be a constitutional

monarchy headed by the King, Shaikh Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa
