The United Arab Emirates consists of seven emirates (Arabic: إماراتʾimārāt; singular: إمارةʾimārah), which were historically known as the Trucial States.[1]

Each emirate maintains its own sovereignty over its territory and functions in parallel with the federal government of the United Arab Emirates as per the United Arab Emirates Constitution.[2]
