The Governorate of the Gulf (Italian: Governatorato del Golfo) is an Italian colonial government, that administers their Arab Speaking colonies in the Persian/Arabian Gulf.

(The Governor is the CEO of ENI)
In Game
When Mattei Dies in the late game (Which is one of the leading causes of the Oil crisis), italy will be forced to make a decision on what will happen to its colony. They can choose to: A) Create a Federation of Emirates under the name of The United Arab Emirates. It will be led by the Formed Collaborator and Head of government Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, Who will lead the United Arab Emirates as an Oligarchy and Begin democratic Reforms
B) Return the Colony to Tradition and Create pro-Saudi The League of Arab Sheikhdoms, led by absolute monarch Shakhbut bin Sultan al Nahyan.
C) Refuse to reform the colony. If this happens they risk being overthrown by the Arab administrators under the Leader ship of Left-Wing Populist Abdul Rahman Al Bakir of the National Union commitee. They will proclaim the Republic of the Arabian Gulf and Distance themself from italy. This Republic may join the UAE if it forms
However if this coup Fails once the Oil crisis starts the Indian Immigrants will stage a revolution under the leadership of Syndicalist Gurudas Dasgupta of the Regional Radicals Party. They will proclaim the Peoples Republic of the Arabian Gulf
