The State of Kuwait is a sovereign Arab emirate situated in the northeast of the Arabian Peninsula in Western Asia. It is bordered by Saudi Arabia to the south and Iraq to the north and lies on the northwestern shore of the Persian Gulf. The name Kuwait is derived from the Arabic "akwat", the plural of "kout", meaning fortress built near water. The emirate covers an area of 20,000 square kilometres (6,880 sq mi) and has a population of about 3.4 million.
Opposite to what it was happening in the neighbour Saudi Arabia, Kuwait refused for a long time to import not alcoholic beer, until few years ago, when the dutch ''Hops'' and the german ''Hansa'' were able to introduce some of their products.
