<br />
'''Saudi Arabia''' is a country in the [[Middle East]] which is under [[Sharia]] law, a brutal and oppressive set of rules. It was the legal system put down after the death of [[Muhammad]], the founder of Islam. It was founded in 1902 by [[Abul Ibn Saudi]], a member of the royal House of Saudi.<br />
<br />
Saudi Arabia is mostly a desert country, but it is rich in [[oil]] and date palms. It is also ruled with an iron fist. People will get their hands chopped off for stealing, alcohol is illegal, and women are not allowed to drive. Despite Saudi Arabia's repuation for being one of the most oppressive governments in the world, the United States maintains a close relationship with them and they are one of America's biggest allies in the Middle East after Israel<ref>http://www.cfr.org/publication/10728/</ref>.<br />

The Arab-American Oil Corporation ([[ARAMCO]]), through U.S. Secretary of the Interior [[Harold Ickes]], got U.S. President [[Franklin Roosevelt]] to agree to [[Lend Lease]] aid to Saudi Arabia, which would involve the U.S. government in Saudi Arabia and create protection for the interests of ARAMCO. <ref>[http://www.mtholyoke.edu/acad/intrel/Petroleum/kuniholm.htm "American Oil Interests in the Near East,"] in Bruce R. Kuniholm, The Origins of the Cold War in the Near East: Great Power Conflict and Diplomacy in Iran, Turkey, and Greece (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1980), Chapter III, "The Iranian Context," pp. 178-192.</ref><br />

It has a conservative, anti-gay government that any true conservative should support. Unfortunately, CP admins won't accept them because they aren't Chrsitian or Jewish.<br />
