Ajman (English spelling)

Japanese: アジュマーン(英語表記)`Ajmān
Ajman (English spelling)
The smallest emirate in the United Arab Emirates. Its capital, Ajman, is located in the central region of the country, facing the Persian Gulf. It is surrounded by the Emirate of Sharjah, but also has two exclaves on the Oman Peninsula. In the 19th century, it signed a treaty with Britain and was under British protection under a truce. In the early 1900s, pearl fishing and date palm cultivation were its only economic activities. It gained independence as a member of the federation in 1971. Economically, it is the poorest of the federation, but receives subsidies from Abu Dhabi, a member state, that have allowed for the improvement of the emir's palace, other buildings, and port facilities. The exclave of Manama has a military base, and Mashout is known for its deposits of fine marble. Area: 250 km2 . Population: 76,000 (1991 estimate).

アラブ首長国連邦を構成する最小の首長国。国の中心地域に首都アジュマーンが位置し,ペルシア湾にのぞむ。まわりをシャルジャ首長国に取巻かれているが,このほかオマーン半島部に飛び領土が2ヵ所ある。 19世紀にイギリスとの間に条約を締結し,休戦協定のもとでイギリスの保護下にあった。 1900年代の初頭においては,真珠貝漁とナツメヤシ栽培が唯一の経済活動であった。 1971年連邦の構成国として独立。経済的には連邦で最も貧しく,構成国のアブダビからの補助金があり,それによって首長の宮殿や,そのほかの建造物,港湾施設の改善が行われた。飛び領土のマナーマには軍事基地があり,マスフートには良質の大理石の埋蔵が知られている。面積 250km2。人口7万 6000 (1991推計) 。
