The Sultanate of Oman has lagged behind some of its Arab neighbors in economic development, but still has a moderate Third Wave economy. The powers of the sultan have not declined much over the past century, leaving Oman with one of the strongest monarchies in existence. Even so, the government is stable and the civil rights of Omani citizens are protected by royal decree. Oman is a full member of the Islamic Caliphate, although there have been religious disputes (most Omanis are members of the pseudo-Shi’ite Ibadhi sect).
