A population of 621000 sounds a little understated - not disputing your arithmetic, but my original point was that you should exclude the significant expatriate population if you want a real GDP per capita and a true sense of the wealth that really exists on this blessed sandbank. There are only around 150000 Qatari nationals in toto, hence my earlier statement - the rest of us are a temporary, disposable commodity in the eyes of the state, as a cursory glance at the the qatar-related threads on pprune would illustrate graphically........We wait for crumbs to drop from the table, but we will never be invited to sit at it.
Sorry - it's far too early in the day to get mystical, and my head hurts.....
