	Oman
		Oman occupies the eastern corner of the Arabian Peninsula, bordered by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to the north-west, Saudi Arabia to the west and Yemen to the south-west.
		Oman is slightly smaller than New Zealand or the US state of Kansas, though the part of Oman's border with Saudi Arabia that runs through the Empty Quarter is in dispute, and Oman's exact size isn't known.
		When Sultan Faisal bin Turki died in 1913, the interior's tribes refused to recognise his son as imam, leading to a split between the coastal area ruled by the sultan and the interior, which came to be controlled by a separate line of imams.

		Oman looks to the future as much as the past, and the merchants, fishermen and master dhow-builders of yesteryear have been supplanted by the hoteliers, restaurateurs and visionary architects of today.
		Sultan Said bin Taimur succeeds his father in 1938 and embarks on a policy of isolation from the rest of the world, rejecting all forms of modernization.
		Muscat is the old port area; Mutrah, to the northwest, is the main trading district with the country's most important harbour; whereas Ruwi, built on a grid-plan in a valley a few kilometres inland, has developed only in the late 20th century into a modern commercial and administrative centre.

	The Jebel Akhdar War Oman 1954-1959
		In 1866 a British-supported, coastal-oriented sultan fought and defeated a tribal-backed, interior-oriented imam.4 In 1931, the accession of Taimur bin Faisal to the position of sultan provoked a general rising of the tribes.
		The latter told the Sultan after the tour that, in twenty years experience of most of the countries of the Middle East, he had never seen a people so poverty stricken or so debilitated with disease capable of treatment and cure.8 At this stage of historical development Oman was an economical and political anachronism.
		In Oman the visibility was 30 miles and the Omani rebels were adept at melting into the rocks.145 In order to cope with the problem of concealment, SAS did all of their work at night in Oman.

	Medals of the Sultanate of Oman (IEPE)
		In general, milutary badges are red (except for the highets classes) and bear the Oman arms in the center, while civil badges are are white (regardless of class) and have a crescent device in the center.
		Sultan Said second variety and Sultan Qaboos circular variety: The legend in the center is altered to read "???" or "???" and the legend at the top is removed.
		Sultan Qaboos, however, habitually wears this medal (perhaps the Distinguished Service Medal, the only award of this medal?) as a part of his bar of medals, so his award might well be added to the one to Deputy Commissioner Cooper.

		Oman's initial contacts with the British was part of an plan to undermine the commercial and political power of the Portugese in the area.
		Indeed, Sultan Said was such an anglophile that he came to depend on the British (and a few local trading families) to what was perhaps a dangerously unhealthy degree and one that resulted in political and economic stagnation for the country.
		Oman slipped in economic and strategic importance until the discovery of oil in the region in the 1940's and 50's.

	Muscat, Oman 2002
		In 1998 Sultan Qaboos was awarded the International Peace Award from the National Council on US-Arab Relations in recognition of his insight, and his role in maintaining peace and stability in the region.
		The township of Muscat is located within the confines of a small valley surrounded by jagged treeless hills on three sides and bordered by a harbor to the east opening up to the Gulf of Oman.
		Apparently Muscat is one of the many residences of the Sultan and is the sister city to Ruwi (7km/5mi away) for the seat of government, so down near the harbor you can see a slew of government buildings, and perched upon a craggy hill beside the water is a large stone fortress.
