The country is a federation of seven emirates, and was established on 2 December 1971. The constituent emirates are Abila, Al-Qadura, Fariyah, Hamad, Jahari (which serves as the capital), Sadani and Sahara. Each emirate is governed by an absolute monarch; together, they jointly form the Federal Supreme Council. One of the monarchs (traditionally always the Emir of Jahari) is selected as the President of the United Audonian Emirates. Islam is the official religion of the UAE and Arabic is the official language (although English is widely spoken, being the language of business and education particularly in Fariyah and Jahari).

The UAE's oil reserves are some of the largest in the world while its natural gas reserves are the world's largest. Sheikh Sharaf, ruler of Jahari and the first President of the UAE, oversaw the development of the Emirates and steered oil revenues into healthcare, education and infrastructure. The UAE's economy is the most diversified in the Audonian Cooperation Council, while its most populous city of Fariyah is an important global city and an international aviation hub. Nevertheless, the country remains principally reliant on its export of petroleum and natural gas.

The UAE's rising international profile has led some analysts to identify it as a regional and middle power.
