Oman The Sultanate of Oman (formerly Muscat and Oman), an independent monarchy located in the southeastern part of the Arabian Peninsula, has an area of 82,030 sq. mi. (212,460 sq. km.) and a population of *1.3 million. Capital: Muscat. The economy is based on agriculture, herding and petroleum. Petroleum products, dates, fi sh and hides are exported. The Portuguese who captured Muscat, the capital and chief port, in 1508, made the fi rst European contact with Muscat and Oman. They occupied the city, utilizing it as a naval base and factory and holding it against land and sea attacks by Arabs and Persians until fi nally ejected by local Arabs in 1650. It was next occupied by the Persians who maintained control until 1741,when it was taken by Ahmed ibn Sa’id of the present ruling family. Muscat and Oman was the most powerful state in Arabia during the fi rst half of the 19th century, until weakened by the persistent attack of interior nomadic tribes. British infl uence, initiated by the signing of a treaty of friendship with the Sultanate in 1798, remains a dominant fact of the civil and military phases of the government, although Britain recognizes the Sultanate as a sovereign state. Sultan Sa’id bin Taimur was overthrown by his son, Qabus bin Sa’id, on July 23, 1970. The new sultan changed the nation’s name to Sultanate of Oman.VOL3/4
