I am stuck on one question. Wasn't sure whether to post it here or in another section as it's historical and geographical really. Here goes, if anyone has any ideas I would be very grateful, it was from Cox & Kings Travel mag if anyone wants to enter it and has 15 questions. I have googled for ages and looked through Wikipedia separately for middle Eastern countries and first rulers but there is so much stuff and nothing sprung to mind. I twent back to dynasties in Egypt.
List of Middle Eastern countries from their map are:-
(although some are dubious but I'll put them anyway)

Kuwait, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Armenia, Yemen, Oman, Iran, Turkmenistan, Turkey, Syria, Iraq, Jordan, Egypt, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Qatar, United Arab Emirates. That was about it unless anyone knows different. The quesiton is-

- What Middle Eastern country's name includes the name of its first ruler?

Many thanks for your help.

Possibly Saudi Arabia.
The modern Saudi state was founded by King Abdul Aziz Al-Saud.

could it be Turmenistan or even Turkey after Attaturk?

[Mavisg]

Curiosity got the better of me and looked further:
Mustafa Kemal Ataturk [Atat�rk](1881-1938) the founder of the Turkish Republic and its first President
