Bit of a mis-nomer here for me. When I think "oil dependent" I guess I think of it as a dependency on oil imports. Not necessarily countries whose economy hinges on oil exports. I was going to start guessing countries who import a ton of oil, but then saw the picture and knew I was wrong...then I read the instructions. Maybe I should read the instructions first.

I thought the same thing when I first read the title. I thought it would be countries who are most dependent on other countries for their oil. Good thing I read the directions for once.

Hmm. Why did I read "export" as import?

Imagine when oil reserves are depleted and there is no more oil for them.. Most of these countries will be broke!

Iraq, Libya, South Sudan. All areas with recent civil war, and all at the top of the list. I assume that oil is one of the easier things to keep exporting during periods of unrest.

Deferred or improper maintenance catches up to you pretty quickly, though; look at the downward spiral of Venezuela's oil industry.

Surprised not to see Bahrain and Qatar (and possibly UAE) on there. What else do they sell?

Qatar is on here, but no Bahrain. I was also curious about why there wasn't UAE.

The UAE exports a lot of gold, diamonds, minerals and other raw and scrap materials, some electronics, some agricultural products, and a lot of other stuff. Their economy is a lot more diverse than other Gulf countries. Bahrain doesn't export much of anything - some aluminum and textiles and a few other products. Their total exports are a small fraction of the UAE's, but their oil reserves have been pretty well depleted at this point. That's the main reason Bahrain doesn't show up.

Could you allow the usual type-ins for Congo and maybe change the answer to clarify which Congo it is?

I typed in Nigeria as a wild guess and I had no idea they were so dependent on hydrocarbons.

I heard somewhere that 94% of Nigeria's GNP came from internet ventures. Oh wait, that was the Onion.

Some of these countries are somewhat concerning, especially Nigeria. While it isn't the poorest country on this list, it's by far the biggest population-wise, and still growing. While I really want fossil fuels to be phased out as soon as possible, it's also probably important to have a conversation about how to do so in a way that gives many of these countries enough time to transition away from the oil industry and diversify.
