位於阿拉伯半島上的半島國家（好繞口）。擁有豐富的石油和天然氣資源，是經濟發展最好的阿拉伯國家之一，2020年人均GDP高達52,000美元，但快速都市化也帶來許多問題。卡達常住人口約280萬，但超過85%是外籍人士，所以也有著外國文化入侵等隱憂。因為和伊朗往來甚密，2017年被沙烏地阿拉伯為首的其他中東國家聯手制裁，2021年初才解除封鎖，結束波斯灣國家的分裂。順帶一提，今年的世足賽在卡達舉辦喔。

Year Founded: 1971

Qatar sits on a peninsula protruding from the Arabian Peninsula. This state possesses a wealth of oil and natural gas and is one of the most economically advanced Arab countries. The GDP per capita in 2020 was as high as US$52,000. However, rapid urbanization came with a cost. Qatar has a resident population of about 2.8 million, but more than 85% are foreign nationals. Foreign cultural invasion has become a concern. As Qatar has maintained close ties with Iran, it was jointly sanctioned by other Middle East countries, an effort spearheaded by Saudi Arabia in 2017. It wasn’t until the beginning of 2021 that the sanction was lifted, ending the divide between the Gulf countries. By the way, this year’s World Cup will be held in Qatar.
