1. Navn:<\/strong>\u00a0Ordet \"kuwait\" betyr \"fort\" p\u00e5 arabisk. Byen Kuwait ble grunnlagt i 1613 i den n\u00e5v\u00e6rende hovedstaden Kuwait City.<\/p>\n

2. Levetid:<\/strong>\u00a0Kuwait er, sammen med det arabiske landet Qatar og \u00f8ystatene Tonga og Tuvalu i Stillehavet, de eneste landene i verden der kvinner har lavere gjennomsnittlig levealder enn menn.<\/p>\n

3. \u00d8yer:<\/strong>\u00a0Det er 9 \u00f8yer i Persiabukta som tilh\u00f8rer Kuwait (Failaka, Bobiyan, Maskan, Warba, Ouha, Um AIMaradem, Um AI-Naml, Kubbar og Qarooh). Av alle 9 \u00f8yene er bare 1 bebodd; Failaka.<\/p>\n

4. Gastronomi:<\/strong>\u00a0Det kuwaitiske kj\u00f8kkenet er s\u00e6rlig preget av sj\u00f8mat (p\u00e5 grunn av Kuwait Citys beliggenhet ved kysten) i kombinasjon med de mange lokale krydderne.<\/p>\n

5. Overvekt:<\/strong>\u00a0Rundt 42% av den kuwaitiske befolkningen er overvektige, noe som gj\u00f8r Kuwait til #10 p\u00e5 listen over land med h\u00f8yest konsentrasjon av overvektige voksne i befolkningen.<\/p>\n

Fakta: Sandstormer er et vanlig fenomen i Kuwait - spesielt i sommerm\u00e5nedene.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

6. Emirat:<\/strong>\u00a0Kuwait er et emirat der statsoverhodet er en emir (Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah), selv om det ogs\u00e5 finnes en statsminister (Jaber Al-Mubarak Al-Hamad Al-Sabah). Emiren har makt til \u00e5 ben\u00e5de d\u00f8mte fra fengselsstraff og til og med d\u00f8dsstraff. Emiren er ogs\u00e5 den \u00f8verste milit\u00e6re lederen.<\/p>\n

7. Olje:<\/strong>\u00a0Det ansl\u00e5s at Kuwait har rundt 10% av verdens oljereserver under bakken. 90% av Kuwaits eksport er olje (og oljederivater), og oljen gir staten inntekter p\u00e5 rundt 75%.<\/p>\n

8. Historie:<\/strong>\u00a0Kuwait var en del av det osmanske riket frem til 1. verdenskrig. F\u00f8rste verdenskrig, da landet ble en del av det britiske imperiet. F\u00f8rst i 1961 ble Kuwait erkl\u00e6rt uavhengig av Storbritannia.<\/p>\n

9. Gulfkrigen:<\/strong>\u00a0Kuwait ble invadert og okkupert av nabolandet Irak i 1990. Dette var en del av den irakiske diktatoren Saddam Husseins plan for \u00e5 sikre seg flere oljekilder. Amerikanske styrker intervenerte 17. januar 1991, og krigen ble avsluttet 28. februar 1991.<\/p>\n

10. Oljebranner:<\/strong>\u00a0Da de irakiske troppene trakk seg ut tidlig i 1991, satte de fyr p\u00e5 mange av oljebr\u00f8nnene, og store deler av de \u00f8stlige og s\u00f8r\u00f8stlige delene av Kuwait ble ubeboelige.<\/p>\n
