Is Kuwait right for you?
The State of Kuwait is a constitutional monarchy on the coast of the Persian Gulf, enclosed by Saudi Arabia to the south and Iraq to the north and west. The name is a diminutive of an Arabic word meaning "fortress built near water".
Population
Kuwait has a population of approximately 3,100,000.
Political Structure
Kuwait is a constitutional monarchy. The head of state is the Emir or Sheikh, a hereditary office. The Emir appoints the prime minister, who until recently was also the crown prince. A council of ministers aids the prime minister in his task as head of government which must contain at least one elected member of the parliament. The number of ministers must not exceed one-third of the elected members of the parliament.
Sheikh Nasser Al-Mohammed Al-Ahmed Al-Sabah (born 1940) is the Prime Minister of the state of Kuwait. He was appointed Prime minister on February 7, 2006 by the Emir, Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah.

However, political tension between the National Assembly and the government has severely delayed and hampered the approval and development of most infrastructure projects.
