I know it’s a bit of a PoliSci 200+ question, but I am curious as to how their family has been able to rule for what is approaching to be a century.

    You have big social divide:

    The upper classes are all living in the Saudi’s welfare state even the most progressive/westernized part of this class are supporting the Monarchy (kind of like pre revolution iran’s socialists who hate the peasants more than the Shah because they despised the lower class for being uncivilized conservative).

    And then you have the lower class who composed of the nomadic tribes that basically lives off grids and you have migrants workers who has zero rights.
