Emirate - For the Arabic airline, see Emirates.
Generally speaking, an emirate (Arabic imarah, plural imarat) is the territory that is administered by an emir, although in Arabic the term can be generalized to mean any province of a country that is administered by a member of the ruling class. An example of the latter use is seen in the United Arab Emirates, which is a country that is comprised of seven federal emirates administered by an emir.
