Sultan's Blue Dream A report into the political and cultural structure of Oman. 11 Aug 2007 13:44 GMT A picture taken from Omani state television depicting'tribal democracy' in actionA "tribal democracy with carefully controlled forms of modern participation", is how one tourism leaflet put it. For a country that became independent just over thirty years ago, Oman has done remarkably well both economically and socially.
