Introduction:
Saudi Arabia, officially known as the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, is the largest country in the Arabian Peninsula. It is bordered by Jordan and Iraq to the north, Kuwait to the northeast, Qatar and Bahrain to the east, the United Arab Emirates and Oman to the southeast, and Yemen to the south. The country's coastline extends along the Red Sea to the west and the Persian Gulf to the east.
Saudi Arabia covers an area of 2,150,000 square kilometers (830,000 square miles), making it the 12th largest country in the world by land area. The country's terrain is mostly desert, with the vast majority of the population living in the coastal areas. The capital and largest city is Riyadh, located in the center of the country. Other major cities include Jeddah, Mecca, and Medina.
Saudi Arabia is a conservative Islamic monarchy, with the King serving as both head of state and head of government. The country's legal system is based on Sharia law. The official religion is Islam, and the majority of the population is Sunni Muslim.
Saudi Arabia's economy is heavily reliant on oil production. The country is the world's largest exporter of crude oil, and the petroleum sector accounts for over 90% of government revenue. In recent years, the government has been working to diversify the economy by investing in other sectors, such as tourism and finance.
Saudi Arabia is a member of the United Nations, the Arab League, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and the G20. The country is also a major player in the Middle East peace process and has been involved in several regional conflicts, including the Gulf War and the Syrian Civil War.
