2 questions about oil? and questions where they were 15th and 22th? Aren't there other things they ve beaten more countries in?
I admit, I wouldn't know middle east is not my area of expertise (though I only missed one ;) ), just my opinion that if possible I would change these 3 questions.
I'll have a think and see if I can come up with some suggestions (or maybe others will have some aswell),
All I can think of right now, (so won't be the greatest..) are to do with the name. Like length, amount of words
seems fine to include to me. How about traffic fatalities per capita? I think Saudi Arabia is pretty high on that list. And I read that they are #1 in terms of chicken consumption per capita.
I haven't researched this extensively but what's your source on Saudi Arabia being one of the most deserted countries? I'm sure it's one of the biggest hot deserts, but what about cold deserts like in Canada and Russia?
