Comparative Analysis:
Compared to other countries, Sudan's GDP per capita is EXTREMELY low. Mexico is the closest one to Sudan in this category, and having visited there, I know first hand what those living standards look like, and Sudan is one seventh of Mexico's GDP per capita. Sudan is definitely a third world country with around $2,000.00 per household per year. I did compare Sudan to larger, more developed nations, so that does explain the large money gap.
Ranking Consistency:
Sudan's real GDP, according to the CIA Factbook, is ranked 71st in the world. Sudan's GDP per capita is ranked 184th. So, there is an inconsistency between these two rankings. So, maybe I'm thinking that the money is not being evenly distributed between all peoples. This makes sense for a country that has both oil entrepreneurs on one end of the spectrum and peoples sustained purely by agriculture on the other. An unequal distribution of wealth.
