It's one of those extremely wealthy-not by dint of their own hard work, mind you-Gulf sheikdoms that would be a parking lot in Saddam Hussein's First Reich, had the United States not saved their ass!

It's ruled by the Al-Thani clan, who are responsible for bringing us Al-Jazeera.

They also are the only other nation, outside of the House of Saud, to have adopted the teachings of Ibn al-Wahhab as their state's official religious doctrine.
