Saudi Arabia (n.) 沙烏地阿拉伯王國（阿拉伯語：المملكة العربية السعودية），通稱沙烏地或沙烏地阿拉伯（阿拉伯語：العربية السعودية），是一個位於西亞阿拉伯半島的阿拉伯國家。面積約2,149,690平 方公里，它是在阿拉伯世界中地理面積第二大的國家，僅次於阿爾及利亞。沙烏地阿拉伯北方與約旦和伊拉克接壤；東北與科威特接壤；東邊和卡達、巴林及阿拉伯 聯合大公國交界；東南方和阿曼接壤；南方則與葉門交界。它是唯一一個同時擁有紅海和波斯灣海岸線的國家，而它大部分的土地由不宜居的沙漠及貧瘠的荒野組 成。
現時的沙烏地阿拉伯由四個本來分明的區域－漢志、內志、部分東阿拉伯半島和部分南阿拉伯半島（阿西爾）組成 [5]。沙烏地阿拉伯王國是於1932年由伊本·沙烏地成立，他由1902年奪回沙烏地王朝歷史領地利雅德開始，相繼以征服統一了以上的四個區域。該國從此便一直是以根據伊斯蘭教原則、以君主專制的形式管治，瓦哈比派伊斯蘭教亦被稱為「沙烏地文化的首要特徵」 [6] [7]。沙烏地阿拉伯有時被稱為「兩聖寺之地」，因它的範圍包括了伊斯蘭教中兩個最神聖的聖地：麥加的禁寺及麥地那的先知寺。
沙烏地阿拉伯是世界上石油生產量及輸出量最高的國家，它同時亦控制了全球第二大的烴儲藏[8]。由於有石化燃料支持經濟，沙烏地阿拉伯被列為高收入經濟體之一，人類發展指數亦極高 [9]，且是唯一在二十國集團中的阿拉伯國家 [10] [11]。但是，它在海灣阿拉伯國家合作委員會成員中擁有最單一的經濟 [12]。它政治上保守偏右，作為伊斯蘭國教的背景為瓦哈比派，採用君主世襲制，且是由政教合一的威權政權實權統治 [13]，是被自由之家列為「不自由」的國家之一 [14]。沙烏地阿拉伯的國防開支在世界排行第四 [15] [16]，又在2010至2014年在斯德哥爾摩國際和平研究所世界軍備入口者排行中排行第二 [17]。它被分類為地域大國和中等強國 [18]。除了海灣阿拉伯國家合作委員會，它亦是伊斯蘭合作組織和石油輸出國家組織的成員 [19]。
沙烏地阿拉伯對女性權利的限制使沙烏地阿拉伯成為世界上唯一不容許女性駕駛車輛的國家。這一政策直至2017年才開始有所放寬。[20] 該國自2018年6月起將允許女性開車，這項歷史性決定讓全球唯一不准女性開車的國家也解禁。[21]
Saudi Arabia [C] Officially the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), [d] is a sovereign Arab state in Western Asia constituting the bulk of the Arabian Peninsula. With a land area of approximately 2,150,000 km2 (830,000 sq mi), Saudi Arabia is geographically the fifth-largest state in Asia and second-largest state in the Arab world after Algeria. Saudi Arabia is bordered by Jordan and Iraq to the north, Kuwait to the northeast, Qatar, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates to the east, Oman to the southeast and Yemen to the south. It is separated from Israel and Egypt by the Gulf of Aqaba. It is the only nation with both a Red Sea coast and a Persian Gulf coast and most of its terrain consists of arid desert and mountains.
The area of modern-day Saudi Arabia formerly consisted of four distinct regions: Hejaz, Najd and parts of Eastern Arabia (Al-Ahsa) and Southern Arabia ('Asir). [7] The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was founded in 1932 by Ibn Saud. He united the four regions into a single state through a series of conquests beginning in 1902 with the capture of Riyadh, the ancestral home of his family, the House of Saud. Saudi Arabia has since been an absolute monarchy, effectively a hereditary dictatorship governed along Islamic lines. [8] [9] The ultraconservative Wahhabi religious movement within Sunni Islam has been called "the predominant feature of Saudi culture", with its global spread largely financed by the oil and gas trade. [8] [9] Saudi Arabia is sometimes called "the Land of the Two Holy Mosques" in reference to Al-Masjid al-Haram (in Mecca) and Al-Masjid an-Nabawi (in Medina), the two holiest places in Islam. The state has a total population of 28.7 million, of which 20 million are Saudi nationals and 8 million are foreigners. [10] The state's official language is Arabic.
Petroleum was discovered on 3 March 1938 and followed up by several other finds in the Eastern Province. [11] Saudi Arabia has since become the world's largest oil producer and exporter, controlling the world's second largest oil reserves and the sixth largest gas reserves. [12] The kingdom is categorized as a World Bank high-income economy with a high Human Development Index [13] and is the only Arab country to be part of the G-20 major economies. [14] However, the economy of Saudi Arabia is the least diversified in the Gulf Cooperation Council, lacking any significant service or production sector (apart from the extraction of resources).[15] The state has attracted criticism for its treatment of women and use of capital punishment. [16] Saudi Arabia is a monarchical autocracy,[17][18] has the fourth highest military expenditure in the world [19] [20] and SIPRI found that Saudi Arabia was the world's second largest arms importer in 2010–2014. [21] Saudi Arabia is considered a regional and middle power. [22] In addition to the GCC, it is an active member of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation and OPEC. [23]
