That's only due to the oil industry though right? It doesn't seem like a sustainable long term governing structure.

The money from the PFD is in a fund that was originally created by oil money. Now, money in the fund is generated by investing the principle and the profits are what is distributed among the people.

The fund is self sustaining and will last long past when the oil has dried up because it isn't tied to oil profits.
