Al-Ajman-New comer, non-homogenous, politically active, scattered geographically.
Al-Rashaidi-very politically active, long time residency in Kuwait, not linked closely with royals.
Al-Aneza-Northern tribe, arrived in Kuwait about the same time as the royal family, non-scattered geographically, but less overtly political.
Al-Awazan-Outnumbered by the others, scattered densely in Salmiya and roundabouts.
Al-Utaibi-Not as large as other tribes, but prevalent around township of Khaitan.
Al-Shammen-Arrived in Kuwait and settled in north in the 19th century, less active politically than most tribes.
