The United Arab Emirates, abbreviated as the UAE, or shortened to "the Emirates", is a country situated in the southeast of the Arabian Peninsula in Western Asia.

Why this cryptic reference about it not being an Arabian country or Iran. Your original question was what countries have the highest per capita bla bla bla ;)
Perhaps you can give me a clarification of what country I have wrong, until then I’m going to go with:

1. The Sultanate of Oman
2. Kuwait
3. Saudi Arabia

Looking for something smaller eh?

How about The Kingdom of Brunei?

UAE is country, no question. :) What I meant was that in the right answer, country no. 2 is neither an Arabic country (so not UAE) nor Iran.

I just realized I've made a terrible cock-up. :disturb: Forgive me, gents. :p imp:

I'll do my calculations again, and will be back with you soon...

Well, Canada has a relatively small population and produces much oil.
For many years, Russia was the largest producer of oil, but it does have a hefty population.
Trinidad is a place that produces some oil, with a small population.
Then there's Norway...their production is now increasing due to recent discoveries, and their population is not that big....

I'll ask the question again, and we'll start from scratch, ok? I'm terribly sorry for the confusion; it was early morning and I missed a couple of countries from my list. :p imp:

So: Which are the three biggest oil exporting countries per capita?

The volumes are:
1. country - 0.75 barrels per capita per day
2. country - 0.61 bbl pc pd
3. country - 0.49 bbl pc pd

Two of the countries have already been mentioned, one by Mr Alcatraz and D-Type, the other by Schmenke. Please give me lists of three. ;)

And once again, solly, solly, solly, solly, solly.

Thought about that, but at ~2M barrels per day of production (I think. Not sure of the actual export figures to our neighbours down south) and a population of ~35M, the math(s) equates to only 0.06M bpd per capita :mark: .

These are all good guesses, but they're not in the top 3. The numbers are:

Norway - 0.43 barrels per capita per day (no. 4 in the world)
T & T - 0.15 bbl pc pd
Canada - 0.06 bbl pc pd
Russia - 0.05 bbl pc pd

So, all three correct answers have been posted?
How about:

Kuwait
Burnei
Saudi Arabia

No, only two of the three have been mentioned. And you are also 2/3 right. :cool:

Just to clarify it a little, after a bit of confusion -- two of the three are Persian Gulf countries, one is not. Two of three have been mentioned, one has not.

Qatar
UAE
Brunei

All three countries have now been mentioned, so all we need is someone to put it all together. :cool:

In a few years time the recoverable petroleum reserves in Canada will exceed those of Saudi Arabia.
Canada is currently the world's largest exporter of crude oil to the U.S.A.
However, keep yer foot in the queue because our kite-flying friends in the far east are close behind ;) .

Correctly Correctington. :up: Qatar is actually 2nd and Brunei 3rd, but I'll accept that as the right answer. The top 5 are:

1. Kuwait - 0.75 barrels per capita per day
2. Qatar - 0.61
3. Brunei - 0.49
4. Norway - 0.43 (<--- quite a surprise to me, that)
5. Saudi Arabia - 0.27

Anyway, your turn Schmenke. :cool:

Thanks studiose :)

I can't think of anything challenging right now, so I'll throw in a Q based on a National Geographic show I recently watched on the telly :mark: :

Where can the sand dunes of Lençóis be found?

I had never before heard of this unique place and found it quite interesting :) .

That sounds French. I'm going with Quebec Canada!

Then France

Then Algeria
:D

Keep going :p :

Looking back at that name there is one letter that does not look French. I'm totally in the dark on this one, so I have to wait until someone gets close, until I venture another guess. :)

The name does indeed look a bit Frenchy, but I'm going with South America. Maybe Chile?

Looks portuguese... Portugal?

Both studiose and Donks are close ;)

South America and Portuguese?

well I'll be dayammed :confused: :andrea:

I don't have a question ready so instead of the obvious I'll say Curaçao as it also sounds portuguese :p

:s ailor: Brazil

What is the name of the largest caverns in the eastern US?
In which State are they located?

Yes, it's a protected area in northeastern Brazil, on the Atlantic coast:
Lençóis Maranhenses National Park - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If you ever get a chance to watch the Nat Geo program, I highly recommend it :up: . Quite an interesting and unique ecosystem.

But, go ahead Alcatraz, pose a Q :p :

Thanks that place looks very cool! :up:

Growign up in Montreal, my buddies and I would sometimes drive to Plattsburg to frolic on the beach at Lake Champlain. I remember locals talking about an impressive cave system somewhere in New York state that many tourists visited. I can't remember what it was called, or where exactly it was :mark: .

You would be too far north!

You are correct sir :)

Quick one while people are thinking one up

Which capital is furthest east:
Edinburgh?
Cardiff?
Dublin?
Madrid?

Apologies to the non-Brits for being so parochial.

Seems like the obvious answer is Edinburgh, so let's get that out of the way. :)

Surprisingly, it isn't Edinburgh, which is why I posed the question.

Madrid?
