In current political-science and international-relations theory, a rentier state is a state which derives all or a substantial portion of its national revenues from the rent paid by foreign individuals, concerns or governments.Rentier state theories have now become a dominant frame of reference for studies of resource-dependent countries in the Gulf and wider Middle East and North African region,but are also used to analyse other forms of rentierismConsequently, in these resource-rich rentier states there is a challenge to developing civil society and democratization.

Polygamy is having more than one wife or husband at once, and anarchism is the rejection of the state or any other type of authority when organizing human societies.
Both types of behaviour are frowned upon by our society, to the point that they can be considered taboo. A taboo is an implicit (although sometimes it can be explicit, like through the enactment of a law) prohibition of something, because it is believed that the act goes against the agreed cultural or religious beliefs of a community. Establishing those kind of limits helps communities to be more organized and to have a stronger sense of "belonging." On the other hand, it can isolate those who think differently and cause the community to be closed to new ideas.
