Preface

>Top Hexagon is a strange polygon, which closely resemble a circle. Six is also a number which we could manage. Six would be the maximum number which we could pursue consensus. Here the comparison of the six countries of GCC (Gulf Corporation Council); i.e., Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatal, UAE, and Oman. All these countries are very important for Japan, which imports great amount of oil and natural gas, and exports various machineries to these areas. Source: CIA The world fact book

>Top 六角形は不思議な多角形である。それは円を近似している。６はまた合意を得るためには最大の数かもしれない。 湾岸協力会議を構成する６ヶ国の比較である。即ち、サウジアラビア、クウェート、バハレーン、カタール、アラブ首長国連邦、オマーンである。 これらの国々は日本にとって非常に重要である。石油や天然ガスを大量に輸入し、さまざまな機械などを輸出する相手国だからである。

Comment

Comparision list is more useful and understandable than separate list. Data will be updated. Each nation shows budgetary deficit! Background coloring has meaning: North=Black winter,East=Blue spring, South=Red summer, West=White autumn, Up=Yellow ecliptic, Down=Green earth.

比較表は個別表よりも有用で理解しやすい。 データは今後更新予定 各国共、予算は赤字 背景の色には意味がある。北＝玄冬、東＝青春、南＝朱夏、西＝白秋、上＝黄道、下＝緑土
