	surprising that Canada's is so small considering how large it is

	Also surprising that Saudi Arabia happens to be so high on the list. I always picture it as just being pure desert hahaha. Even though that is clearly incorrect.

	I agree with thebronze. The total area of Saudi Arabia is 2,149,690 km². It's impossible that 1,736,250 km² (almost 81% of the area of the country) are dedicated to agriculture. For Argentina the ratio is only 48% (1,333,500 km² of 2,780,400 km²). I suppose most people think of Argentina as a farming country and of Saudi Arabia as a desert country, not the other way around.

	@dancastro I agree the figure is a little puzzling for Saudi Arabia. It may be that they've included all areas in which nomadic herding occurs. As written in the the game note the UN definition of agricultural area includes all land used for grazing animals and not just land "dedicated to agriculture", so this might be extended to all areas in which bedouin nomads live. This would also explain the presence of a number of African countries with a strong nomadic tradition.
