New Saudi Arabia (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) was founded in 1932 by King Abdulaziz. However, the wars and conflicts that led to the formation of the country began in 1902 with the capture of Riyadh, the ancestral home of Al Saud, by King Abdul Aziz. Saudi Arabia is an absolute monarchy. The religion of Islam has emerged in this country.
Saudi Arabia is one of the largest producers and exporters of crude Oil in the world. It holds about one-fifth of the world's proven Oil reserves. Oil accounts for 95% of exports and 70% of government revenues. Recently, however, non-Oil exports have increased. Saudi Arabia's energy resources have made this desert kingdom one of the richest countries in the world. Extensive Oil revenues have led to the country's rapid modernization and the creation of a welfare state. Saudi Arabia also has the sixth-largest natural gas reserves in the world.
