Exactly, I can't understand how you got downvoted. Sweden is rich, Switzerland is rich, Luxemburg is rich. But Azerbaijan? Since when do natural resources imply wealth? By that logic, Venezuela would be rich too. Distribution of wealth in Azerbaijan is catastrophic. A nation's wealth should be measured by how well off its poorest citizens are, not its richest.

Also, the GDP per capita of Azerbaijan indicates anything BUT rich.
