Why Oman might be annoying:

    Oh, man!
    The first Semitic tribes lost Oman to the Persians, who then lost it to the Parthians. Next the Caliphs of Baghdad, then the Turks, then the Portuguese. Then the Persians again.
    Today it is run by the al-bu-Said dynasty.
    The climate is the three H's - hot, hazy and humid.
    Its people suffer beach pollution from oil spills.
    The government selects only about 50,000 people to vote in elections.
    The citizens are Omanis.

Why Oman might not be annoying:

    The sultan still maintains his barge of state, with its costumed boatmen and leaf-shaped oars.
    They export oil.
