Today, Ahmed taught me about the political and social structure of Spain. It is something else! So I always knew that Saudi Arabia was ruled by the Saudi family but I didn't know that there are only 23 families that make up the true Saudi population. Ahmed told me about the issue of interbreeding over there and that it became such a problem that blood tests had to be involved. The person second in line to the throne is the nephew of the current King. I wonder how much animosity there must be for the King's real children. I can imagine there's always so much controversy and drama surrounding this royal family. I think that's something that not many contemporary countries can empathize with. There's not many King's left that are still actually ruling their country. All of the rules and laws of the land comes from this family. There are no different laws for different provinces or cities. There is only one. That's too fascinating for me where we have so many different little laws or regulations per city that you travel to in America. I wonder how easy or maybe how difficult it would be to enforce the same rule structure throughout all of America. So far, most Saudis can't complain with the ruling of this family because they have tended to be leaning towards progressive policies and are starting to become an integral part of the international community. It brings me great joy to see the happiness Ahmed has for his country and its future. I'm not sure I've ever felt that way about America.
