United Arab Emirates -
This oil and natural gas rich country has a highly developed economy which makes it one of the most developed in the world. Having more money than they know what to do with, they have built numerous artificial islands and are currently building the worlds highest structure - Burj Dubai. When finished it will be 818 meters tall, being about 2 times as high as the Empire State Building in New York. It is estimated that about 1/4th of the total construction going on in the world is taking place in Dubai - the largest city in United Arab Emirates.

executive you know your economics :up:

this doesnt represent anything you have to consider other factor's for ex if you talk living standards, unemployment rate,inflation,healthcare,education,purchasing power parity,type of economy, all these factor's go along way in measuring the actual wealth of the state.

if its nominal the list would be diferent, this is per capita.
