With 365 days in a year, that equals about 21,900,000,000 dollars a year. If one assumes that there is some cost at producing oil, then one gets about 20 billion a year.

With 96% of the economy based on oil, that means 96% of the people get their livelihood from the oil money. Since there are 25 million people and an 875 dollar a year per capita standard of living if the people use ALL of that money, then that doesn't leave much for anything else, does it?

How much a year do you think each of those people should have to live on?

How much is the per capita for an American citizen?
