Hi! I was reading about Dubai today, and I came across a little paragraph that got me interested: apparently, Qatar, Bahrain, and Dubai were already in a monetary union before the UAE was created. When the UAE was created, Qatar and Bahrain decided to remain independent, and so we have a KleinUAE, if you will.
So my WI today is, what if Bahrain and Qatar had decided to become part of the UAE? How would this affect Gulf politics?
