Absolutism is a form of government where one person or small group of people have unlimited power. The term "czar" means "caesar" ("king"), and therefore can be considered a type of absolute ruler. Ivan the Great of Russia (r.1462-1505) took the title of "czar" after marrying the niece of the last Byzantine empire. After the fall of Constantinople (and thus, the Byzantine Empire), Moscow became the most powerful city in the Eastern Orthodox Church. Thus, the "czar" of Russia would from then on claim to be the inheritor of the Byzantine emperor and protector of the Eastern Orthodox Church.
Two rulers of Russia stand out as being "absolute rulers": Peter the Great (r.1682-1725) and Catherine the Great (r.1762-1796). Peter wanted to make Russia into a modern nation, and forced Russians to adopt European culture. To do this, Peter created a new class of nobles that were given land in exchange for their loyalty to the government. Nobles were given total control over their peasants, who saw their freedom decrease during Peter's rule. To reform the government, Peter created a centralized bureaucracy of non-elected advisers and local governments were placed under the direct control of the czar. Peter also brought the Orthodox Church under his authority and created a council of bishops appointed by him. While many of Peter's policies improved the Russian economy, he divided the Russian people. (See image: Courtesy of saint-petersburg.com)
Catherine the Great began her rule by seizing power from her own husband! Catherine greatly admired Peter I and continued to expand and modernize Russia. Many people consider Catherine's reign a golden age of Russia because she supported the arts, education, and culture. Despite being influenced by the European enlightenment, Catherine feared chaos and peasant uprisings were brutally crushed by her army. She allowed nobles to treat their serfs (peasants) however they wished. More peasants than ever were forced into serfdom than ever before, and their position worsened.
With the GDP per capita, this depends on the wealth and the population of a country. For somewhere such as the Arab Emirates, they have a small population, but a fair amount of wealth, so this then increases the GDP. The situation is similar with Kuwait. Iran has also been affected by War, meaning that some of the infrastructure will hav been destroyed, and that people would not be able to work and make money, which is then something that will have a direct impact on the GDP. With countries such as Jordan and Sudan, As far as I'm aware, they are relatively poor countries with a high population, meaning that the GDP will be lower and split between more people,therefore, meaning that it will be low. With regards to A). Iran is a country that has definitely been affected by this, following the war. B) A large majority of the countries that have been mentioned are also predominately desert, so where there is not people that are making money, this is something that is then not contributing to the GDP. Countries such as Kuwait and UAE also have large oil reserves, and this is something that can contribute to wealth hugely, and the smaller the population, the less people the GDP has to be spread between, and therefore, this increases it. With environmental disasters, these can have a huge impact, and the amount of money that is being made is also greatly reduced, and the expenditure is also increased, which is also something that can decrease the GDP.
Hope this helps you!
