The real Game of Thrones

This is a very interesting look at Saudi Arabia, a country that has remained stable for decades because power was shared and rotated amongst the various clans so that no one clan would have power over the others - until now.

The new king wasted no time grabbing power for his clan, with the exception of one power position which is the only thing that prevents total control for the king's clan. The only check on the king is the guy who heads up the Saudi National Guard (and is from another clan).
