Скачать или смотреть East Timor vs Saudi Arabia: Young Democracy’s Oil Gamble vs Absolute Monarchy’s Riches

Which path to development is more sustainable: the young, fragile Democracy of East Timor facing an oil revenue cliff, or the wealthy, authoritarian Absolute Monarchy of Saudi Arabia? In this clash of political systems and economic resources, we break down 31 crucial factors defining life, freedom, and vulnerability!

The core contrast is Political Freedom vs. Wealth Source. Saudi Arabia is an absolute monarchy where the King holds supreme power, civil and religious freedoms are severely restricted (non-Islamic public worship is banned), yet its oil wealth provides a massive $71,243 PPP GDP per capita and zero income tax. East Timor, the poorest country in Southeast Asia, is a constitutional republic and one of the world's youngest democracies, but its economy is overwhelmingly dependent on its $17 billion Sovereign Petroleum Fund, which is projected to be exhausted in 10-15 years.

We compare social outcomes and economic risk. East Timor has a very low GDP per capita ($4,758 PPP est.), struggles with high poverty (over 40% below the national poverty line), and the challenge of generational under-representation in government (median age of youth is 20 years). Saudi Arabia has a high life expectancy (79 years) and has recently seen social modernization under Vision 2030. We analyze Religious Needs (East Timor is predominantly Catholic; Saudi Arabia is officially Sunni Islamic and bans public practice of other faiths), Safety and Crime Rates (low homicide rate in Saudi Arabia vs. moderate in East Timor), and Internet Access (Saudi Arabia has high connectivity; East Timor's is developing). Join us to see how dependence on a single resource shapes the destiny of these two nations!
