Russia is now the world's
top oil producing nation, overtaking Saudi Arabia. The change is largely due to the fact that Saudi Arabia is bound by OPEC's production limits used to keep oil prices artificially high. Even so, it's nice to have a non-muslim nation in the top spot, although Russia's own politics have been moving towards the extreme in the last few years. Why do all of the big oil producing nations have to be nuts?
