On December 2, 1971, the seven emirates became independent as the United Arab Emirates. The President, His Highness Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan, has devoted much of his attention in the intervening years to the development of the federation of the United Arab Emirates. Each of the emirates has its own ruler; and they all together comprise the highest body of the federal government, the Supreme Council of Rulers. The council elects from its members a president and vice president. A Prime Minister and a 40 member consultative assembly called the Federal National Council also govern the federation.
