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.

Malaysia now also beats Saudi Arabia in terms of Tallest Building. The Merdeka 118 was recently constructed and is now taller than the Abraj al Bait.
