So all the stuff they need to build it, maintain it, feed it, clothe (sustain it) it will be internally generated?
None I suspect, it really is just a large prison. (with another name)
Just like in the movies.
A surprising number of people think its a great way to live.
Problem is they think its ok to require all of us to think that way.

It's in Saudi Arabia. You couldn't get closer to 1984 if you tried. Dissent is met with brutal death (Jamal Kashogi), Sex out of wedlock is punishable with prison. Women aren't allowed to drive. Infact women can't really do anything without a male escort and being covered from head to toe. But not sure why you are worrying about it?

They are also great mates with Putin and Trump . It’s one of the few places Russians can still go to and go about business as normal or have a holiday . Birds of a feather and all that..
