        It is difficult to trust a site that rates Saudi Arabia so highly.

          It does? Maybe in comparison to other countries that have a smaller GDP but compared to other countries in its bracket it performs very poorly.

            Having been there myself I can tell you there's a huge wealth gap, essentially absolute bottom or fairly high toward the top, much like Russia. They're just really good at pretending the bottom doesn't exist. There are huge slums though.

              I don't doubt that. Just from looking at the data presented on this website it looks like there is a massive issue.

                Hmm, perhaps I'm misinterpreting the graphs. They just had SAU as a pretty dark color in all three categories.

                                  Up to 11 shot now. Still only five dead. Cops and snipers still exchanging fire.

                                        Yup. The game, not because of the bodies out there.
