Is it a coincidence that Middle Eastern states at least before a wave of nationalist coups began in the 1950s were organized initially as monarchies? I think it would be fair if my colleagues saw what I said about the Middle East as being too deterministic and you know even possibly wrong. It is also possible to argue that the shape of the territories that the fine Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United States has been at least has interacted with the shape of concessions.
