explanation: Middle-east country surrounded by Iraq in North, Saudi-Arabia in South and Persian Gulf in East. A part of Ottoman empire since 16th century, British detached it by creating a protectorate state in 1899. The discovery of oil fields has made it one of the richest country. Kuwait declared independence in 1961. Considering Kuwait as a relic of colonialism, Iraq has annexed it in 1990 but withdrawn next year during Gulf War. Population: 2 millions, surface: 17,820 km2, capital: Kuwait city.
