Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia, known simply as Arabia before 1949 when The British were forced out of the territory by The Arabians, once a wandering tribe who had nothing but camels and went mincing all over The Desert. After the takeover, it was found that Arabia, now called Saudi Arabia, was literally floating on top of huge reserves of oil, the largest in fact, greasspot in history. Now flush with funds provided by Western nations' need for the "Texas Tea", the Saudi Arabian royalty could make all of their dreams come true. The biggest dream among these was owning a "cement pond", or, a cement anything. As everyone knows, constructing anything in the desert is impossible. Now that the Saudi's were recognized by every great world power, nicknames had to be created, so that forthright Americans could talk about these bed sheet wearing gazillionaires. This eventually led to a resurgence of "Pirate Lore" in western culture. The Saudi's had boarded the good ship moneybags and were now being secretly mocked by what was at the time, a growingly liberal conspiracy in Hollywood. The advent of television saw a new era in the uniformed mocking of The Saudi culture when "The Beverly Hillbillies" premeired in 1952. Good American values and down home characters were written into a hilarious television comedy that could be used by The Liberal Elite to brainwash The American Public into accepting the fact that we were being wholly bought out by what seemed to us at the time to be a bunch of ugly brides who subsist by drinking camel urine.
