I was reading about Saudi Arabia earlier, it's quite a strange place (compared to some of the western world). Their royal family is especially interesting, they have something like $1 trillion USD to their names: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Saud
In Saudi Arabia, 95% of exports and 70% of government revenue come from oil, one of the big reasons I'm cheering on Musk/Tesla. Once oil is irrelevant, backwards religious bigots, from Saudi Arabia to Texas, will become irrelevant too.
