Bahrain

Bahrain is a small island nation in the Persian Gulf that aspires to be a sort of junior United Arab Emirates, which is lucky because if there's one thing the world needs, it's another soulless, decadent shithole where Arab billionaires can go during weekends to purchase little vials of crude oil and then inject them into the tiny blood vessels between their toes. The capital, Manama (twinned with Bahrain's second-largest city, Doodoodoodoodoo) is noteworthy for having a skyline designed entirely by and for people who are twelve years old. Bahrain is nearly impossible to say out loud without sounding at least kinda pissed.

Manama's most iconic landmark, the twin towers of Bahrain Financial Harbor. Most people are disappointed when they find out that it doesn't transform into a giant robot.
