Yeah, it could turn into a corrupt feudal state ruled by religious police. What a nightmare.

  It's not feudal, the religious police don't rule and as is the people there have enough water to drink, food to eat and mostly live in something resembling peace. After oil Saudi Arabia will look like Yemen does now, if they're lucky. I'm sure the royal family/clan/tribe will be fine but the average Saudi will be in a much, much worse position than now.

    They only have enough water and food because of constant imports of both. Without oil, Saudi Arabia couldn't realistically sustain 1% of it's population. Realistically, if the oil runs out, except for a few pockets and islands, Saudi Arabia will have to be abandoned.

  It could always be worse- like a collapsed state ruled by religious militias without enough water to keep people alive.
