They misspelled "Lybia": "Lybia (common names include boxer crabs, boxing crabs and pom-pom crabs) is a genus of small crabs" (Wikipedia). Never mind, though...
Other than that, concluding from the chart, Saudi Arabia seems to be on the safe side of things, unfortunately. But the economic background is pretty clear. In almost all countries shown here, there has been negative real GDP growth during the last couple of years. Together with political repression that makes for a good revolutionary climate.
Good graph, right-clicked & saved. I do wish W. Africa was included, I would be very interested to see Nigeria, Ghana, Liberia and elsewhere on that chart - especially as many of these nations export oil, have contentious presidential races in progress, and their corrupt elite have also been exposed in wikileaks revelations. Hopefully the liberty contagion will spread south through Africa as well as through the MIdeast.
