I wish my country had a fuck load of oil.

Well we kinda did before the Witch sold it to all her mates on the cheap.

I wish my country had a fuck load of oil.

That hasn't worked out well for the people of many countries that have oil. In Saudi Arabia, women only got the right to drive legally in 2017.

Here's the 2022 top 10 oil producing nations. How many of those would you like to live in?

  • United States 12,900,000[8]
  • Russia 9,480,000[9]
  • Saudi Arabia (OPEC) 9,060,000[9]
  • Canada 4,778,973[10]
  • Iraq (OPEC) 4,340,000[9]
  • China 4,016,664[11]
  • Brazil 3,670,000[12]
  • United Arab Emirates (OPEC) 3,250,000[9]
  • Iran (OPEC) 3,140,000[9]
  • Kuwait (OPEC)

Canada seems as the only sane choice.

USA is fine if you are rich - majority of people aren't.

Russia, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, China, united Arab emirates, Iran, Kuwait - may as well label them country A, variant X.

Brazil - not sure about this one.
