The UAE deserves more study.

It is technocapitalist.
And a top location for global investors.

It’s truly a nation of immigrants.
Less than 15% Emirati, >85% foreign.

It’s in hypergrowth.
From 75k to ~10M people in 75 years.

It’s like a Mars colony.
Built a metropolis from nothing. 

Very impressive place.

One thing that does stop me from going to Dubai to have my affairs set up there is that I am not convinced one can expect a fair trial.

Rule of law is not an issue until it becomes an unsolvable and personal.
